Will I need a new PSU?

[pootissandvichheavy]

I would like to add a Crucial MX500 SSD (SATA, 500gb) to my system sometime soon. Is there a need to upgrade my PSU? If not, how many watts is this expected to take while under gaming load?

Current Specs:
Ryzen 2400G
Asus 970 Turbo
8 GB 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX
Toshiba P300 1TB
Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3
EVGA 450BT

The SSD won't make a difference in your power supply needs.

Crucial - MX500 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive: 2W - 10W

So this upgrade will not warrant a PSU upgrade?

No it won't.
