Yes, but I wouldn't get that board.

 

What power supply are you referencing?

A thermaltake smart series, and what’s wrong with the board?

Mediocre VRMs

 

That power supply will get by, but I'd prefer to have something a little more resilient

Has nothing to do with that. Whatever you're doing is using the gpu.

A thermaltake smart series,

People should learn that there arent many good 500W and 600W psu's out there, but they still recommend 500/550W or 600/650W when they could just say 550/650W. I mean most of the time people buy that smart crap because they got told that 500W is plenty so they wont even look at 550W units.

Interim 15 T200 OKF("F" intel processors are specifically archituctured for gaming) maybe upgrad to 13'900 | Peeralight cpu fan | Stryx Z690-A Wife(which is branded by ASUS and it's ROG label) | Thermotake 16x 8x2GO SODINM 2400mjz cl22 (2 of them with the mood lighting) | 980 EVO 1TB m.2 ssd card + Kensington 2TB SATA nvme + WD BLACK PRO ULTRA MAX 4TB GAMING DESTROYER HHD | Echa etc 3060 duel fan dissipator 12 GBi and Azrock with the radian 550 XT Tiachi | NEXT H510 Vit Klar Svart | Seasonice 600watts voeding(rated for 100.000 hours, running since 2010, ballpark estimate 8 hours a day which should make it good for 34 years) | Nocturna case fans | 0LED Duel moniter

 

New build in progress: Ryen™ 8 7700x3D with a copper pipe fan | Z60e-A | Kingstron RENEGATE 16x2 Go hyenix | Phantek 2 the thar mesh in front | lead lex black label psu + AsiaHorse białe/białe | 1080 Pro 8TB 15800MB/S NvMe(for gaming this increase fps and charging time, cooled by a M.2 slot with coolblock and additional thermopad) and faster 4000GB HHD | MAI GeForce GTX 2070 Ti

Not really, it's very low-end PSU, not fit for anything more than APU system.
