Can this psu handle rx 580?

[LikelyDone]

I have some weird Whitenergy psu right now and I want to buy a new gpu, I was thinking about gtx 1060 but I saw that rx 580 is better and has less stuttering, so I need a new psu, I found a Segotep SG-500AE 500W and I wonder if this will work good with rx 580, I know this is a cheap psu, I don't need anything fancy, just want to run rx 580 and I kinda don't want to buy anything expensive, max 70$, should I avoid buying a psu and go with 1060 instead?

They are almost equal GPUs so don't bother with rx580 unless you want vega 56 or higher

Never heard of Segotep before. What country are you buying in?

[sillypenguin213]

And the PSU is junk. it might fry your components someday

Don't power anything with that piece of junk. Get a decent PSU.

I'm assuming you live in the US. Do buy the PSU so someone at JonnyGuru can rate it at firehazard/10 ./s

An RM550x is 69.99$ at OldEgg.

Thanks for all the answers, I'm from Romania btw, and that RM550x from corsair is 110-120$ here.. And this psu is not even in stock anymore, another choice maybe?

If we don't get a link to online stores you can use, all we can do is blindly guess which PSUs are in stock and which PSUs have a normal price in your country.

A CX450M or CX550M (or CX450/550) would be good choices

Ok, 2 popular sites from my country:
https://www.emag.ro/surse-pc/c
https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/
Basically 200 lei = 50 dollars
250 lei = 61 $
300 = 73 $

@OrbitalBuzzsaw 70$ for the 450w, I don't think it is worth it..

it's not about the wattage it's a bout the quality

So this are the cheapest and most reliable, maybe I will go with that fsp raider because it has more watts and has silver instead of bronze. Btw thanks all of you for your help. Cheers guys!
