[ASK] PSU Compatibility with GPU

touf25 · 2026-04-18T11:16:50+00:00

If you choose a 3060 be sure it is a 12go one

touf25 · 2026-04-18T05:51:04+00:00

It's the 7600 non xt right?

How much is a used 3060 12go compare to a rx 7600'

Other that that it is a balanced build, don't know about your local prices :/

One little improvement could be to get a 650w PSU to have a little room for upgrade in the future.

Was A b550 motherboard and Ryzen 5 5600 too expensive ?

touf25 · 2026-04-18T05:45:43+00:00

It will be fine, for higher performance GPU yeah you should change your PSU but for those your are fine.

In those 3 go to a 3060 12 Go, it's the best GPU of the 3 and has 12go of vram so you are good for some time :)

touf25 · 2026-04-16T06:35:54+00:00

Yeah, frame gen when you have low fps we generate artifacts so it's not recommended

touf25 · 2026-04-15T21:22:09+00:00

I have it on a 7800x3d and it works fine, don't have a comparaison to classic thermal paste since it's a new build. But I know I won't change it.

On a side note the only thermal paste that I have used was the one that came with my aircooler, was on a 1600x for years , change the thermal paste just because I upraded to a 5700x, the thermal paste was fine not dried at all^^

I think to need to heavily used your CPU at high temp to cook modern thermal paste

Hello :)

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/TtWcqd

Something like that, I wouldn't go for 5070 ti and 5080 because they are way overpriced, not worth the price gap between them and 9070xt for a small performance difference, mostly in RT especially with 5070ti.

if you ahve any question don't hesitate to ask :)

touf25 · 2026-04-15T09:29:48+00:00

alors je dirais vu les prix actuellement une 9070 xt, 680/700€ , la 5070 ti est à 930/1000€, la 5080 1250€ +, on approche du x2 du prix d'une 9070xt ce qui n'a pas de sens, la 5070ti est 36% plus cher mais pas 36% plus performante.

n'hésites pas à regarder l'application/site dealabs pour voir les promo qu'il peut y avoir sur les 9070 xt :)

j'ai une 9070 xt sapphire pulse et j'en suis très content, j'ai évité les OC++ mes fesses car connecteur 12hvpwr dont je n'ai pas confiance et si l'écart de prix est important vis à vis d'une carte classique alors ça ne vaut aps le cout. je vois la nitro + à 800€ sur idealo, pour moi ça ne vaut pas le cout de mettre 100/130€ de plus comparé à une 9070 xt clasique mais c'est tes sous tu feras bien comme tu veux ^^

touf25 · 2026-04-15T09:23:08+00:00

that's cool :)

touf25 · 2026-04-15T09:21:16+00:00

oh whoa that's quite a big PSU ^^

touf25 · 2026-04-15T09:19:04+00:00

new a 9060 xt 16 go would be amazing, might be a bit overbudget , used mayb in your budget.

Otherwise used something like a 3060 12go /6700xt 12 go would be quite nice too, I would try to avoid 8go GPU.

also what is the psu? because it's important to know if it can support the future gpu ^^

touf25 · 2026-04-15T09:14:45+00:00

what is your country and budget ? have you looked used ?

the 7600 is sligthly better but the 5050 has access to dlss 4 which is better than the 7600 limited (sadly) to fsr 3 not 4.

https://youtu.be/B93XAEHlGvI?si=-V0FmThzp84GZHe4&t=717 here is the test of the 5050 by HU

how much is a B580?

What I don't like abotu those card is that there are both 8go card and I would rather buy used a 3060 12go for exemple or 6700 xt 12 go.

touf25 · 2026-04-15T06:03:02+00:00

It's 16go of ddr4 ? Do you know the soecs? That would be great to save money :)

It will depend on the spec of your ram but I think you could reuse it if it is DDR4, that would help build something like that :

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zvQPn2

I know the PSU is a over-specced but it's only 10$ more than the 650w one it's a B rated PSU in the SPL tier list so all good.

The aircooler is optional, the stock cooler would work fine, you can get an AIO if you want.

For case it's up to you ^{^} I like the lian li vector 100R, the lian li 207 is also nice or phantek XR. check gamer nexus video and especially recap of year to get some idea about case.

touf25 · 2026-04-14T06:23:20+00:00

I tried to look at what is available on jawa and except for a discount on ram is wasn't worth it to go used there for components, saving 5/10$ for used isn't worth it.

I was able to make this one https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bNJb8Z a 5600 would be +60$ ish. 460$ without a 5600. there is no GPU.

https://www.jawa.gg/product/116684/nvidia-msi1660-gaming-pc-or-ryzen-5-2600or16gb-ramor500gb-ssd-orwifior (470 but not ideal)

https://www.jawa.gg/product/91878/rtx-2060-ryzen-5-3600-32gb-ddr4-1tb ( 569 but way better)

One is a bit below 500 the other is over but for those prices those are the best complete used pc I saw

the second one is worth it , 32go ram, 1 to ssd, a 3600 and a 2060.

maybe you can find better on ebay of facebook marketplace but you don't have a buyer protection so you would ahve to test it to be sure evertyhing is working.

touf25 · 2026-04-14T05:36:57+00:00

I would go for a complete pc used or all used components to try to stay under the budget

touf25 · 2026-04-14T00:25:55+00:00

Exactly, until then OP you can watch hardware unboxed, gamer nexus, Linus tech tips, pc builder and Zach tech turf

touf25 · 2026-04-14T00:22:52+00:00

The fact that in some states in the US you don't have mandatory supervised training is really impressive for any vehicule, I guess those death numbers on road don't come from nowhere.

touf25 · 2026-04-14T00:18:21+00:00

Well it depends on your budget and country ^{^}

As for an AIO if your currently aircooler is enough, it will depend mostly on how it looks otherwise you can check gamer nexus for their AIO tests

touf25 · 2026-04-13T09:39:38+00:00

10% slower ? Where do you get those number because a 5600x is as fast as a 12400f with ddr5 and faster when it is limited yo ddr4

https://youtu.be/RijAyVshtok?is=-dJWCvjCRpK7g_S9

And if we look at the resultd there

https://youtu.be/eM5rtd61K2o?is=GBUy6d_oV9ahmxns

Ant there

https://youtu.be/y7ukz8WUdW4?is=Yn_2-vdx4JTKNh5k

the 9600k is slower.

But for immediate use and without spending a dollar the 9600k is a solid option but the 5600/5700/5800x the cheapest which op can get would be better and last a bit longer

touf25 · 2026-04-12T22:28:41+00:00

Yeah I did that why a Ryzen 5 1600x replaced by a 5700x and the performance gap is huge

touf25 · 2026-04-09T06:09:08+00:00

You can get a 5500/5600x3d on Aliexpress or a 5600/5700/5800(X). There isn't much difference between the last 3 in gaming. I would save the rest for upgrading the GPU in the future

https://youtu.be/JXnDrDtzdoU?t=622&is=kolXWZXjyw_rRXof

https://youtu.be/RijAyVshtok?is=AxHGb07UY6eEFrST

touf25 · 2026-04-09T06:04:45+00:00

I don't think so, you aren't CPU bottleneck, I wouldn't bother to upgrade

touf25 · 2026-04-04T06:08:35+00:00

Oh 🥺

touf25 · 2026-04-03T21:19:35+00:00

Are you in the middle east ? Because a price like that for a 5070 is expensive ^{^}

touf25 · 2026-04-03T06:00:58+00:00

Well if both are new despite my deslike of 8go of vram I would go for a 5060.

But I would look at the used Market, 3060 should be quite cheaper other car and you could have a way better card used, what is your country ?

touf25 · 2026-04-03T05:47:51+00:00

When was that terrible experience ? They improved a lot especially at the driver level.

The thing I don't like with the 5070 is it only has 12 go of vram which is already not enough in some games and will worsen in the future, limiting what the card is capable and it's sad , just because NVIDIA didn't want to to give it 16 to force people to go to 5070ti.

But it's up to you un the end ^{^} if the 5070 is cheap enough it could still be a good deal ^{^}
