It would be best to get a newer higher quality PSU.

Something that is good quality and 550W.

It is enough, and is a mid-quality one. However, you might want to get a new one soon, depending on how old the current one is.

2 years old! Is 550W enough even if i want to overclock ? I was think prime focus gold but for more 10 euros i can buy the same one but 650W ...

Anyway another question im buying the X if im not overclocking do i need a cooler or the stock is okay?

Just because you bought it two years ago doesn't mean it's not a lot older than two years.

My condolences.

The stock cooler is enough to cool it, and is very good. The PSU you have should still be ok, but overclocking might reduce its lifetime. If you could have a budget on a new PSU, what would it be, and we can give some recommendations should you want a new one.

150 euros max!
Now that intel reduce the prices im a bit confused what to buy... I like to gaming and streaming(some times) and want to mainly upgrade because of that i cant stream without stuttering on this i5 6500! Would you go for i7 9700k or 3700x or wait?

 

[ConanLock]

I would choose the 3700x.
As for the PSU, once again, you don't need a new one, it would just be a smart choice to get one. Look for a SeaSonic Focus Plus or Corsair RMx, these are my personal recommendations. Go with at least 600w.

Maybe i will hold this PSU with the new build and then i buy like in 4 months or 5 months a new PSU what you think? I didnt say but im very intesive game player like sometimes 10 hours day more. xD

Now im trying to decide if go for B450 Mortar titanium or X570-A Pro?

 

[ConanLock]

That would probably be ok.
By the looks of things, the x570a Pro would make the better choice, but if you know that the B450 has the latest BIOS (for Ryzen 3000), or you can borrow a compatible CPU from somewhere, then it certainly wouldn't make a bad choice.
This shows that you will use under 450w (slightly) overclocked at load. So it shouldn't be a problem. However, I would recommend you stay off any overclocking.

Im not going OC the cpu but maybe in 1 year or 2 maybe GPU is this a problem?

Thank you for all your help !

Probably not. It depends how much you overclock by, but I would say no.
