Question New PSU is needed even without GPU/CPU upgrade?

[AzowiX]

This system:
R5 2600
32GB RAM
A320M-S2H
RX570 Pulse


Right now I upgrading this system with new RAM (already installed) + Storage (new Nvme) only...
The PSU is Antec VP500PC and I heard that maybe I will need to replace the PSU even without upgrading the CPU/GPU becuase that is located on the "Avoid" Tier in the PSU list here...
That is true you think? Maybe have a plan to upgrade them in the future... (GPU and CPU)

The wattage for your PSU suggested per this list;
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm
says that you're going to be running to the limit of that unit. Even if the unit was good, you don't meet the wattage requirements of your system. With that being said, I'd have chosen a higher wattage unit and one that is of reliable build quality. The PSU is considered to be the heart of your system, so might as well protect your investments by investing in a good unit(one with ample power for the entire system).

Where are you located?

In this context, anything that requires supplementary power is "high power." This is a low-quality PSU. It should be replaced.

Even without GPU/CPU upgrade? replace it right now?

Yes. It's garbage. It shouldn't be in there with this GPU in the first place.
