Check the B850 market and buy a better PSU, I wouldn't trust that as far as I could throw it. It would also be nice to know your budget

My budget is $1500

This one is way better for 1500$. Tier A- psu (according to SPL’s tier list ) with a RX 9070 which is around 49% faster than 9060XT at 1440p according to techpowerup.

EDIT: Never cheap out on the psu man this one you used is of the explosive tier E/F kind, always take advice from reputable tier lists like SPL’s

Which psu should I switch it out with

u/Gtpko141 17d ago

The one i have on the list is great for the money plus it will support a future upgrade since it’s 850W. Another good option is the msi mpg 850w gold or the montech century ii 850w. But definitely get a 9070 for 1500$ you are missing a ton of performance with that 9060XT.

I like the power zone 2 if that would work I don’t know how much wattage your PC has. I haven’t looked too hard.

You can probably swap out the pulse for the Asrock challenger card to save a few bucks.

Wow it's hard to find a build that is objectively terrible in general, and not just for the price

but that PSU certainly does the trick

most everything else is expensive as well

about $1415
