Hello Everyone, thankyou for considering to answer my question, After many years I have finaly decided to build a PC and harvested certain parts from various PCs and bought some new ones, one of my friends suggested me to upgrade my PSU because it may not supply sufficient power under heavy loads. Even I am a bit skeptical about the sufficent power supply to my PC, do you think the same ?
Below are my PC specs
CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
CPU Cooler-MasterLiquid 240L Core
Graphics Card-Zotac RTX 4060
PSU-Cooler Master B500
Motherboard-Gigabyte B450M DS3H Wi-Fi
RAM-Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 3200 (8x2)
Storage-Western Digital WD Black SN770 NVMe 1TB
Kingston 250GB SSD
Fans-3 Rainbow 120mm Fans
1 ARGB 120mm Fan
Taking the abve build into consideration do you recommend to stick with the same PSU or upgrade to a higher watt PSU ?

TL;DR-Is 500W PSU enough for my build ?
Thankyou in advance
 
NVIDIA recommends a 500 watt power supply as the bare minimum spec for a RTX 4060, so you could use it in theory... but is it cutting it extremely close? The answer is yes, especially considering it is a low budget PSU. If you want to grab the bare minimum that will give you some headroom, and like to start completely from scratch when upgrading your system, 650 watts will be more than enough. Grab the XPG Core Reactor 650. If you will be upgrading often, or want to carry over some parts, an 850 watt should suffice, depending on what you plan to pair it with down the line. The Cooler Master MWE V3 and Corsair RM850e are both great options.
