Wanna upgrade from a MSI R7 370 2GB to a Vega 56 (STRIX) since it wouldnt be much more Cost-efficent for me to buy a Vega 56 then a 1070/ti since Gsnyc 144hz monitor are are pretty expensive compared.

My Question is: Would my current PSU be enough? (I will undervolt the Vega 56)
My Specs are below:


CPU : I7 8700K (OC to 4.5GHZ, Stock Voltage)
Cooler : Cryorig H7
Motherboard : : Gigabyte Z370 HD3
RAM : 2x 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2400 (OC to 2999MHZ)
GPU : MSI R7 370 2GB
WLAN-Adapter : Tp-Link Archer T9E
Main Drive : 120GB SDD
Second Drive : 1TB HDD
PSU : BeQuiet Pure Power 10 500W
Case : Phanteks P400s


IF its too borderline, i will upgrade to a Pure Power 11 650/750W.

A Radeon RX Vega 56 needs 31 amps on the 12v+ rail and at least a 650W PSU minimum with 2 - 6+2 pin PCIE connections.
