I have Rx 560 4 gb

Can i run this gpu without any issue ?
 
Solution
Core i5-2500 is 95W. RX 560 should be 75W. You're already up to 170 W without counting anything else plugged into the motherboard, drives, or case fans. It might work, but you'll really be pushing up close to the limit of what this PSU can handle. PSU's also degrade over time, so if this system is very old, then it has probably started to deteriorate already and will struggle to deliver the power you need.
