Hello, today i came here to ask a question about Seasonics evo 520w m12II, is it going to do the job for a year or a half a year for my rx 580 and ryzen 5 1600 ?
I bought this while i was drunk and i didnt even take my time to read the spec sheet or nottin so im gonna ask u ppl on what do u think, if i shoul not play my pc for half a year or just put it in the pc and hope the pc wont die, oh and i saw that the 12v rail 20x2 12 v rails , and my rx 580 has a 6 pin and an 8 pin so i think im gonna be fine there.

You're advised to use a PSU with at least 550W of power for the entire system when populating the system with an RX580. The Seasonic brand in itself is reliable but the wattage is low, I'd ask you to return it and get the same PSU in the 620W flavor.

I would prefer to have more wiggle room but that's is a fine PSU and should be able to handle the power requirements of your system.
I have one running for six years with similar power usage.
The RX580 (up to 235W) by far, is the component that requires more power and the minimum recommended is 500W.

my rx 580 gets 180 w on full load and 79 c on temps, and i just need the psu to last till winter when i will buy one around 100 euro like a gold rated 600w or higher psu , maybe il go with seasonics gold focus or even higher i jsut need his one to handle some games for me till winter.

You should be fine even if you GPU was drawing more than 180W.
