I bought an Asrock phantom gaming radeon RX5700xt graphics card.

Before i bought my new GPU, I have read posts and reviews that 550W is fine/enough for the 5700 XT(which i think they're referring to the reference model). The wattage calculators also says it's fine. But what's stated on the box of my GPU is different story, it requires 600W minimum which it concerns me a lot. Currently i have the following PC specs:

Solution
PSU wattage requirements specified by the GPU manufacturer are typically higher than what most systems actually need.
You need not worry --- a good quality 550w PSU is fine.
