Question Can my Antec VP500PC 500W power new system upgrade?

[nddz]

So im changing CPU / MB / RAM
I will use:
R5 2600
Gtx 1050 no 6 pin required!
2X8Gb 3200
MB Tomahawk max 450 or B450m gaming plus
SSD 240GB
Gammax 300R CPU cooler
3-5 case fans
and potentially new NVME m.2 in near future.
Not planning to OC if it's risky obviously.

How old is the PSU? You should be fine but if it's aged, and has been taxed by an older system, then that would be something to worry about.

Should be fine total system load will not break 300 watts.

I am seeing posts about this PSU that dates back to 2013.
I wouldn't trust it since its an old Antec but it should work if you don't OC.

It's couple of years old and yes it has been used by and older system.
