Although you may not touch 500w necessarily at basic tasks, the recommended PSU for a 5700xt is 600w. If you run everything at stock, then a really good quality 500w PSU might get you by.

Ideally you would just get a 600w-650w quality PSU so you have a little headroom to OC you CPU and GPU, which you very well may want to do.

Any of the following will do: Corsair RMx/TXm/RMi 650w, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, EVGA G2/G3, all would be a good fit with your build, and are quality PSU's with 7-10 year warranties. Don't cheap out on a PSU to get you by the minimum. It's the heart of your PC. You want your heart to be able to do the job, eh!? :)
 
The wattage you need is primarily determined by the graphics card,
Here is a handy chart:

It indicates a 550w psu.
Past that the psu is not of good quality.
Tier 6 on this list:

I like the seasonic focus units.
This 650w unit, for example:
