Is 500 watts enough to run the following specs

[captain_pronin]

Hello everyone,

I used one of those PSU calculators and it tells me that 500 watts is enough, although I'd like a 2nd opinion.

These are the specs I am upgrading to:

i7 8700 (non k) or Ryzen 2700x - I'm not sure yet
Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB
Either a H310M motherboard for the i7 and a B450M Pro M2 for the Ryzen
16GB of DDR4 Ram with overclocking if possible
19 inch 1366x768 Monitor

The PSUs that I am looking to get are the 530 Thermaltake Smart SE or the FSP Raider 550


Thanks in advance for the help!

i woul;d say it would be fine for stock speeds but if you plan on overclocking you might want to get at least one that is 600W

Both those psus are junk and I'd not put a Rx580 on either. If you insist on those models, at least opt for the above 600w versions instead. 38A/456w on the 12v rail from a 530w unit is not that good and can leave you in trouble in a pc capable of @400w+ when pushed.

How about an EVGA BV 500 watt PSU? Is that a good PSU?

Also junk

The minimum I would do with that system is a Corsair CX550M.

Preferably? Seasonic Focus 550

You have some decent equipment there, don't cheap out on the PSU. If you can afford a $250 GPU you can afford an extra $30 for a good quality PSU.
