    None of your business.  Maybe spend more time looking in the mirror and worry about making yourself a better person.  You are only responsible for yourself.

    The higher the efficiency, the closer to its advertised wattage it can theoretically get. A 600w 80+ gold can deliver almost up to exactly 600w, probably like 590 but it would be at 100% load. A 600w 80+ Bronze would deliver probably up the same 590 or more, but it would be less efficient, so you would be drawing more than an 80+ gold when your system is drawing the same amount. 
     
    Say you have the exact same load on your computer at the same time. Say your components are trying to draw 200 watts. If you have 80+ gold you'll draw very close to 200 watts, within like 5-6% above 200. If you have an 80+ bronze you'll draw a little more than 200, probably closer to 220-230. In that case, you'd be spending more money on electricity because you're consistently drawing more power. 
     
    That at does not mean Bronze PSU's are bad. There are Bronze units that use better quality components than gold rated, but their efficiency is just lower by design. Bronze PSU's like the CXM series from Corsair and the Seasonic M12II series are great PSU's that, in terms of ripple, stability, and power delivery are very good.

    As many watts as your computer currently needs. For example, if your CPU is using 60 watts, then your power supply will draw 60 watts from the wall. But, if your PSU only has 80+ efficiency, then it could draw up to like 70 watts. But, if it's 80+ Gold, then it may only draw up to like 62-63.

    the rx480 shouldnt require a bios update, only drivers and compatibility with the OS. Checking the specs doesnt seem like much compared to the older generations. TDP is rated at 150W so even a 500W PSU is sufficient if using an i3. Just add up the TDP of the entire rig and get a PSU just above that.

    As @Enderman pointed out, 550/efficiency (let's say it's a 90% efficient unit, you'd put 0.90 here) gives you the amount of power drawn from the wall under max load.

    That's most certainly not how 80 PLUS efficiency works.
     
    We have a guide pinned on the PSU subforum about this very topic. It's also in my signature. Please read that for any questions. There's an abundance of misinformation in this thread and I can't be bothered to address it all individually.

    The power supply can deliver 550W. However, a PC only consumes as much power as it needs.

    Psu miiight.. MIGHT be a little tight. I would personally upgrade to at least a 550w.

    As far as I know an old bios shouldn't cause a newer GPU to not work with it... I'm pretty sure that only applies to CPUs.
     
    EDIT: @wowotek just try to first install the rx 480 without updating the motherboard bios it should work but if it doesn't and I'm wrong go ahead and update the bios.

    the issues with two gamers compared to two seperate boxes:
    - usually more expensive
    - ONE HELL of a hassle to set up
    - stupidly impractical
    - both systems are tied together, so the two people are basicly forced to play side by side, with the box in the middle
    - USB is a pain
     
    the issues with two seperate systems:
    - more space usage
    - you have more "overhead cost" like needing two cases and two power supplies (kinda outweighed by needing better hardware in two gamers)
     
    conclusion: two gamers is a fun project, it's a great example of what is to come to the home, but as of yet it's nothing more than that. just like a concept car it looks really cool, you secretly want it, but it's so hilareously impractical it's honestly not worth it.
