[SOLVED] Will 500 Watts be enough for my system?

[mirojasiu]

I got a working 500 Watt power supply from my friend for free. I was thinking if it would be enough for my system.
Heres my specs:
Amd ryzen 5 1600 AF Cpu
2x8Gb 2666mhz ram
512gb m2 ssd
Rtx 2070/ 2070 super
Asus Prime b350 plus motherboard

I am listing these specs as what my pc is going to be, i already got some parts

Hi there is a simple calculator here https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

I have put your parts in it and made a couple of assumptions on screen etc. It recommends 457W. I am not associated with the link, it's just one I use.

What 500W PSU? Some 500W PSU can't even power a single fan.

Quality of psu is very important, we need make and model. Low quality psu’s are often misleading with their wattage ratings.

Still need the model. If it’s the MWE v1 you will find it in the tier C on this list and is to be avoided. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

Tier lists are not 100% accurate but in this case it shows how the specific model is important as you see Cooler Master in other tiers too.

To be exact, it is a coolermaster

It is a CoolerMaster with the product number RS-500-ACAB-L3

Looks to be an old low quality unit. Don’t risk your system with it.
