I'm looking around for gpu's and found a used 2070 for quite cheap, and was wondering if an EVGA 500GD power supply would be alright for it. If not, what would be the best graphics card I could get with this PSU. (I'm trying to stay VERY budget so I don't really want to upgrade PSU.

How old is the PSU in your build? What has it been powering throughout it's tenure?

I'm trying to stay VERY budget so I don't really want to upgrade PSU.
Budget is a relative term, how much do you have to spend? Where are you located and what are you pairing the GPU with? As in, what are the specs to your current build?

On second thoughts, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
 
500w GD is launched in 2019. It's a pretty decent PSU that is manufactured by two different OEMS, FSP and Andyson. The units made by Andyson are a bit better but both are capable of powering a system with RTX 2070. This GPU consumes around 200w at max so there's plenty headroom for CPU and other parts unless you have a recent Intel i9.
