Question Would a msi 3060 12gb oc ventus 2x be fine with a 500 watts psu?

Pairing it with i5 12400f, b660 plus and 16 gb ddr4 ram 3200mhz.
The psu is a seasonic gc core 500 watts 80+ gold

That seems alright. 170W GPU with a locked CPU. As long as you don't have tons of peripherals or internal drives and charge your phone with the computer's USB port and game at the same time.

Thanks for the reply, I do have 1 ssd and 2 hdd, was planning to install an nvme later down the road, not sure how much of a difference it would make though.

Very little, 5-15w while writing to an SSD.
