Currently, I am looking to upgrade my PC, and to do so, I need to replace most of the hardware.
I currently have this PSU: EVGA 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply - I am wondering if it will support the hardware I am looking at getting.
I'm planning on getting the following:
RTX 3070
i5 9600k (+ CPU cooler)

16GB DDR4 3200 RAM
MSI Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

So, the question remains:
Will this PSU I currently have support the system, or do I need to upgrade?

Hell no, first of all, the wattage isnt even close to be enough, 2nd that evga model isnt that ''good'', you need to upgrade.
