EVGA 600BQ. Good, bad, ugly?

[Vishera]

Just wondering, as I'm gonna be putting my system together next week after an entire year of waiting, and I keep hearing that it's not the best of units, especially for gaming. I'm putting a Ryzen 3 1200, a 1050Ti, and 8GB of 3000MHz RAM in here, most just playing emulators and Minecraft. Even if it isn't a great unit, how likely am I to overstress it?

Little to none it will work just fine

Not sure what "gaming" has to do with it... a psu is a psu dude.

As far as quality goes, look up a review and see. Iirc, its a decent unit, certainly not tier 1 or great. Serviceable so its fine.

That system wont break 250w.. so, you wont stress it at all woth a 600w unit.

I was thinking that if you're gaming, you're drawing more power, and therefore putting more stress on the unit, which could cause any issues with the internals to show through a bit more easily.

Reviews have been a mixed bag. Some say they wouldn't put it anywhere near anything more than an office PC, others say you could throw a 1070 at it and it wouldn't notice. That's why I'm kind of confused. From what I've read, it's an Andyson unit, that's something a lot of the opposing reviews use as a key reason not to use this particular PSU. I checked JonnyGuru and couldn't find a review for this unit, only the 750W.

A load is a load no matter what, really.

Im sure it will be more than fine for what you are doing. It isnt a tier 1 and wont catch your pc on fire.
