550W 80+ Gold PSU enough for r5 2600 + Rx 580 + 2-fan water cooling ?

[buikientrung97]

I'm building a new PC case at the moment. My specs are : ryzen 5 2600, XFX Rx 580 8gb, 16gb RAM 300mHz ddr4, Asus B450m motherboard, ssd NVMe Kingston 250gb and an Enermax 2 fan water cooling ( it says TDP 350W+ which I dont understand, may
need explanation too ) . What I'm concerned is that whether my Corsair TX550M 80+ Gold can handle all of these specs, since people have confirmed on the forum that it's enough, but PC builders on youtube often choose higher Wattage PSU.
Thanks for all the help and information

Is the PSU brand new or used? How old is your PSU? You're cutting it really close. I'd ask you to look at a 650W unit from the same series.

It's a brand new Corsair TX550M. May I risk too much if I keep using this PSU for my specs mate =(( ? Since I already bought it ( sale on Black Friday ) and before that I also used many website to calculate power supply for my build and they always say more than 500W is enough. If the risk is too high I may consider to swap it to my brother for a 650W ( but only 80+ Bronze certified ), but ideal is to keep it the way it is. Thanks for your help mate.

That build should not draw more than 400w from the wall. Corsair TXM is good quality unit. 550w should be fine.

This chart is a good guide:

550w might be ok except for your plan on heavy overclocking.
Your psu is a good one, tier 2.

If overclocking is only modest, you do not need liquid cooling.

If you are worried about power usage, a GTX1060 6gb would draw some 75w less power than a RX580 and still be in the same performance ballpark.
