[Midnight468]

I am currently building my first gaming PC and I have bought a 500 watt evga psu but I want to know if it's enough power here are my specs

AMD wraith prism CPU cooler
Asus rog strix b450 F gaming motherboard
Gigabyte 1660 oc gpu
Corsair vengeance 2×8gb 3200mhz ram
Wd green 120gb ssd
Seagate firecuda 500gb

Depends on the model of that unit, EVGA has some great and terrible units.

It is a evga w1 500 watt 80+ white

Maybe not the best quality unit, but it's enough for your system.

What psu would you recommend for my system then?

 

[Wolfshadw]

I'd probably opt for something like this: BeQuiet Pure Power 11 600 watt, unit.

Yeh, it's not a dumpster fire job but not something I'd consider using long term either. The suggestion above is a good one.

500w is sufficient power for a GTX1660.

Some power supplies do not deliver advertised power, but in this case, you are ok.
For the future, it is best to ask questions BEFORE you buy.

On your build, 120gb is too small for windows.
Many things default to the C drive.
When you fill it up, you will lose performance and endurance.

I would buy a single ssd only and defer on the hard drive.
You can buy a 1tg samsung QVO for $110 or so

Where do you live? Some things just don't add up in that build.

For cpu that 3400G isn't what i would choose unless you really want to have the build in gpu as back up.
The gtx 1650 is cheaper and almost as good a performer as the gtx 1660.
Then your question about psu ....
