Don't sweat it too much. It's still more than enough power to accompany a 570. 

I would at least wait for the next, if not two generations. 4-series on desktop may just end up being a "facelift" Zen 2 that won't add that much, versus what a future Zen 3 would likely improve on.

Just a general reference for "how much wattage do I need" questions that are filling the forum. Check these and you'll have a general idea of where to start for shopping for a power supply, and questions can be diverted from "how many watts do I need" to a much more specific "what power supply should I get within my budget that will power a system that needs XXX watts"
 
Briefing on buying a quality power supply:
 
Shopping for a power supply is not all about wattage. As much as your mind or people might make it seem like so, it's not. It's about multiple factors, however the most important things are the quality of the PSU and the amps on the 12V rail. Not just watts. This is why the question of "how many watts of a PSU do I need" is becoming drowned out nowadays, because it's no longer a large variable

On with the numbers!
Again, These numbers are established assuming you are using a quality power supply. The overclocks are also based on heavy overclocking, including overvolting. 
 
 
Another way you could get a rough estimate on your own, is take the TDP of the CPU + GPU(s) and add 100W for other components. This should give you a rough estimate of the maximum power draw your PC will require at stock clock speeds.
 
Use these numbers when shopping for a power supply, but if you're not sure of specifically what model to get, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking! Create a thread in this section that contains your location (country is fine), preferred store or retailer (if any), and your budget. Our community members will be happy to assist you find a good quality power supply that will be quiet, efficient, and reliable. 
 
Hope this reference guide was of help to you if you're looking to get a new PSU to upgrade or for a build. If there's anything that you feel can be added to this, or if you have any questions then let myself know. This thread is a work in progress and I'll do my best to keep working on it so leave suggestions!   Thanks for looking!

The ulefone has a pretty weak CPU, it'd be a hard pass on that from me. 
 
Aside from the size, which is purely personal, I'd take the Note 4 over the OPX.

That's about what they go for here too, you can pick up a 480 4GB for about 100-120 CAD. Just decided that for 150 I could pick up the 8GB version instead which also had a better cooler + nicer backplate and wasn't used for mining.
 
It's a great case especially for the price, I'm very happy with it. Real tempered glass side panel, lots of space for cable management, PSU shroud, and just generally feels good to work with, no sharp edges or anything like that. Even includes a magnetic dust filter for the top. The two fans that come with it work decently well but feel awful, they flex like cardboard, probably replacing them at some point but that's my only gripe.
 
Canada so no Microcenter

That looks incredible for sub-$500.
 
Nicely done.

So I've not been present on the forum as I used to be a while ago, and not because I went somewhere else but things ended up changing in life and I just didn't have time to put into heavily keeping up with PC culture in the over few years. I've still been somewhat looking at things occasionally but been pretty out of the loop and clearly nobody misses me haha. Anyways after long enough sticking with my HP SFF i5-2400 system it finally started to really show its age. A low profile GTX 1050 was able to hold me off on upgrading for a bit, but then I started running into problems with having just 2GB of VRAM. So with not a whole lot to spend on a PC I set out to see what I could piece together with cheap and used parts.
 
Build parts and costs
Ryzen 3 1200 and MSI B450M Gaming Pro motherboard: $100 - used
Deepcool Gamaxx GT cooler - $40 - New
16GB Team Elite DDR4 RAM: $50 - used
Kingston V300 240GB SSD and 320GB HDD: removed from old PC
MSI RX 480 8GB Gaming X: $150 - used
Seasonic S12II 500W PSU: $30 - used
Cooler Master MasterBox NR400 case: $70 - New
Deepcool RF120M RGB LED fan: $10 - New
Wireless card: $20 - New
 
Total cost: $470 (Canadian dollars, so about $360 USD) 
 

 

 

 
Well at least now I can have a PC that is aesthetically pleasing to look at, can render videos better than the HP that barely did real-time speed at 480p, and can run the occasional games I play like beamng drive at decent frame rates. I've never had a problem with buying used components which really saved me a lot on this build, and I usually recommend to my friends to try the same too. I do plan to upgrade the CPU in the future to a 2700 or 3600 but that's something I'll have to save up towards. For the time being it works great, CPU at 3.9GHz 1.35v stable and GPU at 1380MHz stable.

You will need a supported processor first to update the BIOS before you can use a 3rd gen.

If it's already that tight, you really don't want volume to be any less if you want to be able to cram all those components in there.

Your breathing also produces water vapor...

I do have a bit of an obsession

Sounds like an excuse for a 4E-FTE swap ?

I like the Mazdaspeeds specifically, unique cars that you rarely ever see (only 4500 produced) yet still common enough that most of what you'll ever break can be found in junkyards. Slow, unrefined, loud, mediocre ride quality; but amazing handling that makes them very fun to zip around during your daily commute, makes lots of stupid turbo noises, and great on gas. 
 
I started the first one I got (the all-orange one) as a project over the last two summers as something to play with, toying around with some performance mods as a learning experience. Now has a forged motor and fully redone suspension, just waiting on a few other things coming this summer like injectors and maybe a bigger turbo. However though it became too harsh (low and loud) to drive as a daily especially in the winter, so I picked up the grey one (mostly stock) to drive around without destroying my back. Then came the orange one with the black hood, which is just a parts car with a hole in the block. Just got the yellow a month ago so the gf can have one too... it needs work  
 
Another one may be joining us soon... 

I do have a bit of an obsession

Check all connections especially between battery and alternator, battery to ground, and alternator to block. Signal plug on alternator as well, I've seen them get water into them and cake up. ALT fuse if there is one. You can try to remove the connections clean them and put them back on to get rid of as much corrosion and chance of intermittent connection as possible. If all that's good, the regulator or diode pack in the alternator itself may be loose or dying.
