I am looking to upgrade my computer. I have a 500 WATT gold certified power supply. Would this be enough for what I want to upgrade?
Upgrades:
AMD a8 7600 —> ryzen 5 2400g
RX 550 4gb ——> RX 580 8gb
NO SSD ——> 240gb SSD
 
Solution
Wattage means something, but the make/model of the PSU means a good deal as well.

If it's a decent/great brand (e.g. XFX, EVGA, Seasonic) then, yes, 500W may be enough. But if it's a junk brand, then no way, I wouldn't risk it.
