Hello everyone, I'm exited to tell you that i had just built my own gaming PC !

So here's the problem, when i first built it, every game i launched resulted in a Solid green screen (So no errors or anything) and then a restart, i tried reinstalling windows, drivers, BIOS update, and nothing worked; So anyway, i removed everything from the PC and placed it back together (Even replaced the thermal paste) and it was gone, until today I fired up to play some Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, and I think that the PSU is making a squeeking noise (i think its the psu, i believe i can hear it from that direction) and the game menu was very laggy, but the gameplay wasnt, but still the squeeking is there, only for that game, when i play LoL or AC Origins, BO3 nothing happens, no errors and no squeeking!
Maybe the 500 watt psu isnt enough? (Seasonic Wattage calculator reccomended a 520w psu) I can change it to EVGA, Corsair or Seasonic one, but I don't want to buy something that wont fix the problem !
Like i said, no problems and no sound coming from the PSU otherwise, temps are OK.

Components are as listed below:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X (Auto OC Via Ryzen Master)
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (Updated to the latest bios, and updated the latest version of the chipset as well)
GPU: MSI RX 5700XT Gaming X (Updated to the latest Driver)
RAM: 2x8gb 3200Mhz HyperX Fury RGB Using XMP Profile 1
Storage: Kingston A400 240GB
SSD and WD Blue 1tb HDD
PSU: FSP Hammer 500 Watt 80+
4 Case fans, one is RGB others are just regular black ones, all of them being 120 millimeter.
Im using a AMD Ryzen max performance power plan.

Thanks in advance, and i hope that someone can help me fix this :)

Here's a quick chart for you based on your specs. Looks like you're getting pretty close to maxing out that 500W on a standard load. Makes sense it is whining...

A Corsair VS series is pretty bottom rung but should be sufficient. I would think you wouldn't max out a 650W with your current setup. If you want to get a higher tier PSU, it is up to you, but in my opinion, it comes down to (1) what you want to spend, and (2) what features you want your PSU to have. The Corsair VS series is still 80+ rated, so it should be reliable, and those can be had for pretty cheap.
