Question Is this a little risky?

[coolkidalert]

I bought a pre-built IBUYPOWER and have been adding to it ever since. I recently bought a 2070 super and had some concerns about power supply issues. The recommended wattage is 650w, and the power supply that is inside the PC has a max of 600w. The PSU is the model that shipped with the PC (HPG-600ST-F12S ATX 600W PSU 115-230V 50-60Hz). I've heard High Power models of PSUs, especially from IBUYPOWER prebuilts, are somewhat lacking so I was wondering if it is risky to continue to play with the 50w discrepancy?

you should be fine.
you just won't have a lot of headroom, and may possibly run into a powerlimit thing when overclocking, but that won't effect anything other than max boost clock speeds.

I run an overclocked 1080 Ti on a 600w with an overclocked 6700K so I think you'll be fine

it is risky, they use the cheapest psu they can get

I’m thinking of getting an Rtx 2070 super, would my RM550x gold rated 550 watt work with it?
