Hello,
I planned on upgrading my PC (4 months old) and to do it probably I needed more parts than originally planned. My build goes as shown:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI B450M Pro-M2
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2400
MSI Radeon RX 560 4GB
EVGA BQ 500W 80+ Bronze

Now I planned to get a 2600x, Nitro+ rx580, x470-f gaming, and some DDR4 3000 versions of my RAM.
I didnt plan on overclocking till a year or two so I ran this by a PSU calculator and it reccomended me a 480W, and pcpartpicker rated the new rig at 350W.
Will I be okay with my 500W PSU or should I look into a new one as well?
Thanks

I don't think it's worth upgrading the CPU now as Ryzen 3rd gen should be out in a few months and the board you have is good. Only things I'd upgrade is the memory to 2x8gb @3200, the GPU to the RX 580 and a better PSU as the BQ's aren't very good.
