im kinda worried abt my psu
so i have a basic office pc. HP elitedesk 800 g4 sff. ive owned 2 elitedesks including this one. specs are i5-8500 vPro, Nvidia Geforce GT 1030, 16 gb ram (4x4gb sticks) and a 475 gb sata ssd. psu is only 250 watts, and was upgraded from 200 watts. it had a problem in the past. a few days after i got it, when i tried to boot up a game, the psu gave up on me (200 watt psu) it was still under warranty so we sent it back to the prebuilt company to get the 250 watt unit in, and hasnt had a hardware problem since. now im thinking about upgrading to an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 LP, but that past experience kinda scared me. so, will and i5-8500 vPro and RTX 3050 LP be safe at 250 watts of psu power?
