Question Will this PSU handle RX 570 4 GB or RX 470 4 GB?

I have a 650W PSU -

(most probably something made in China). So far, it runs my current setup just fine, the PSU itself runs for a seventh year. Because of the brand (and what I have read on other sites), I'm a little worried about if it will handle the card without problems.

I've opened a wattage calculator, (bet that's not 100% accurate, but still) this came out: https://outervision.com/b/eFinX5 - 354W on full load.

With my current setup, it eats 247W: https://outervision.com/b/wgMy4x

Should I wait and buy a decent PSU (I'm not best with my funds, right now), or install it into the current and not be worried?

Honestly, I wouldn't be trusting this PSU right now with any GPU. This is an ancient, low-quality power supply.

But it does handle GTX 1060 6 GB. So?

Is this how you're testing how this power supply is functioning?

If not, you have no way of asserting that it's "handling" just fine. The GPU not being dead isn't a proper test of a power supply any more than your cardiologist tests your heart by checking if you're alive or not.

As I said before, I wouldn't be using something so low quality with a discrete GPU right now. It's your money and your risk, of course.
