id spend a bit more on the psu cheaping out on the psu is never a good idea as it might break your whole build

[gaunt cloak]

[steep mica]

[gaunt cloak]

idk how bad the 550 scales, is it worse than the 5600g igpu?

[steep mica]

[gaunt cloak]

[rich gust]

Cheap PSUs are notorious for exploding, burning, and all kinds of unsafe stuff.

[gaunt cloak]

I could just about fit an RX 6600 XT. It's around £10 over budget, but I can fit in a considerably faster card.

[rich gust]

Mine fits an even better video card.

[gaunt cloak]

if he can spend $10 overbudget then definitely

[patent jetty]

Is there any way that you could find a similar psu on amazon because it just makes buying it all a lot easier as I have prime

[rich gust]

It's closer to $13.

[toxic shoal]

This is a trillion better than my $330 ripoff laptop with 4gb ram, Intel pentium silver n5030 with Intel graphics

[steep mica]

laptops at that price range are literally just for browsing the internet lol

[halcyon bison]

matrexx 3fs has molex fans could prob find something a little nicer

[rich gust]

These kinds of cheap laptops should just be made as Chromebooks.
