Hi,
I am currently planning on updating my CPU and motherboard, but I am not sure if the PSU I currently have is compatible. I am looking to upgrade to an Intel I7-10700K and an Asus Prime Z590-P motherboard, and my current PSU is Thermaltake Smart SE 530W 80+ Bronze Efficiency. Some websites I have looked at say that the Asus Prime 7590-P has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector and I don't know if my current PSU provides for that. If it doesn't, how much of a problem is this? I'm new to building/upgrading and am nervous about touching the PSU. Any help is much appreciated!
The rest of my current specs are below.
RAM: Partiot Viper Steel 3200MHz (2x8gb, though planning to get another two sticks of this when I upgrade)
GPU: Nvidia GTX GeForce 1660 SUPER
CPU Cooler: Corsair H45 Liquid CPU cooler
SSD: Samsung 860 QVO 2tb
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 5400rpm 6tb
