Hi everyone, so i am thinking in buying a rtx 2060 super OC , since black friday came with good deals in my country, and i have a PSU Corsair CX500w and wanted to know if it can handle my graphic card for now, ofc i am going to upgrade the rest of pc later on, and at that time i will upgrade psu aswell.

Hope someone can help me out ty for you time.

 

 

My specs:

Motherboard h87-pro

I5 - 4670 3.4 ghz

gtx 960 ( to be replaced with rtx 2060 super oc )

corsair cx 500w

5 fans

16gb ram

It should not be a problem - from what you have listed your system looks pretty light on power needs and a rtx 2060 super isn't a super power hog until you push it hard.

 

For peace of mind I would get a Kill-A-Watt (google them - they are about $20 US @amazon) and plug your pc into that to see how much it is drawing from the wall. Take he highest wattage number you see, subtract about 15% from that and you will have your net system power usage (that 15% difference is wasted as heat). The number you come up with should fall without 40%-80% of your power supply capacity.
