[SOLVED] Cooler Master 500W (RS-500-PCAP-I3) PSU powerful enough to run i7 3770 + RX 580 GAMING X 8GB

Hello!

I'm a beginner to PC building here.

I've been given a couple of components for free due to my friend upgrading. My propose set up would be:-

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA - H61M -DS2
CPU: i7 3770 (non-k)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16gb (2x8gb) DDR3 CL10
HDD: 1tb 7200rpm
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 Gaming X 8gb
PSU: Cooler Master 500W (RS-500-PCAP-I3)
Dual Monitors

I've read that it's not the best PSU but I'm planning to get an entire system in about a year or so would only be using it until then.
Just wanna know if my old PSU will be able to handle this set up or would I need to replace it to be able to run it.
If so then could you suggest an appropriate budget PSU or a decent one I can get second hand?

Thanks!

I wouldn't do that, not with the RX580 in there. If you are going to buy a new system in about a year just buy a good psu as well now that you can use in the new system.

Hard pass. Ancient, relatively low-quality, group-regulated PSU with only 360W of +12V power available.

That'what I thought too but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask, I think I'll wait to black friday and see if I can get any good deals on PSUs!

Thanks for your replies.

A "500w" with just 360w in the 12v rails combined. Ouch.

Definitely better to ask beforehand if you are unsure about a PSU, as that could have been an spendy mistake.
