Hi, Just google PSU calculator and use one of them to calculate exactly what you rig requires, a few also allow overclocking and give you rough estimates on OC needs, however the base values are fairly accurate, try them all to give yourself a good average to work on, most add a buffer to their recommendations but you should add another 50w to 100w at the very least, keep in mind future upgrades as well

your probably going to be between 300-350 w at full load. recommended psu for that card is 500 w but it should work.

PC power calculators are an invaluable source too yes.

You can also just google, "RX 580 PSU requirements"

For the 580 the MINIMUM is a 450W you can get away with, this varies depending on your other components power needs. A recommended wattage is a 500W PSU for the 580, that would give the card enough power with ample power room for the other components
