A ''Haswell Ready'' PSU will work with a Ryzen 5 2600x?

It's confusing that a 2019 PSU says that it's compatible with a 2013 processor.

Haswell introduced a very lower power sleep state that effected several PSU's, esp if the PSU had a larger load on the non-primary rails (3.3v &5v) then the 12v rail could go out of spec. This just means that the PSU is ready for Haswell and newer processors that support c7 sleep states.

That means that it'll work with the processor? And what does ''Kabylake Ready'' mean?

It will work. As popatim said it only means it supports very low power modes the CPU can enter when it's asleep. Those were completely redone with Haswell vs previous generation CPUs. Kaby is newer than Haswell but as far as I know the sleep state requirements didn't change.

Whether a power supply is recommendable is a *lot* more than just a "Haswell ready" sticker. What is the *exact* power supply you're looking at?

haswell ready is pretty much marketing guff.

what there actually saying is the psu supports ultra low power modes needed by the last 5 or so gens of cpu's
regardless of brand. (both amd and intel have low power modes now)

but in reply to your question... yes it will work.
