Question Is my current PSU enough for gaming?

[Cozas]

I would appreciate it if someone will be able to help me with this.
I upgraded my GPU a couple of days ago and I am hesitant to start playing some games because I am not certain if my current PSU is enough to handle it.
I listed my components below and I am wondering, if this 500W unit will be enough for gaming on highest settings, that is under max load.
Thank you for your help.

Here is my current setup:

PSU: BE QUIET POWER 10 500W 80Plus Silver
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 3,2GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GTX1660Ti OC 6GB
RAM: 2x8GB KINGSTON FURY 2666MHz
MOBO: ASUS STRIX B350-F Gaming
STORAGE: Samsung SSD M.2 500GB + 1TB HDD
CASE: Coolermaster Masterbox 5t

When I tested this setup with online PSU calculator, it said that load wattage would be 400W, but I am not sure if that takes putting GPU or CPU under stress into the account or not.

That's a very decent quality Power Supply unit....NO worries here. This model should be sufficient for your current RIG.

Be quiet is a good quality brand and 500 watts is fine.

As far as power requirements go, the CPU and GPU should be the largest sources of power draw in a system. A Ryzen 1600 has a 65 watt TDP, and a 1660 Ti has a 120 watt TDP. I doubt the rest of your components would draw all that much more than 50 watts under load, so your system will likely only draw around 250-300 watts under a heavy gaming load.

The power supply calculator may have been telling you that you should have at least a 400 watt PSU for those components. That, or they exaggerate the numbers a bit in hopes of selling you a higher-end power supply. : P

It is of course best to not run PSUs right up near their maximum capacity, so your 500 watt unit would likely be a fine match for that system.
