I've tried going to 1000 different calculator sites and they they all kinda tell me different things.

 

So maybe you guys can decide,

System specs:
Ryzen 7 1700
MSI RX580 ARMOR 8GB

16gb(8x2) Tridentz RGB ddr4

A320 asus board 

 

EVGA 500w 80 Plus white

Am i going to survive with this power supply for now?

Yeah it's fine.

PSU calculators are unreliable and always overestimate, don't pay attention to them.

If you want to know actual power consumption google image power consumption tests for your CPU and GPU.

You miiiight want a little more if you're going to be doing a lot of overclocking. Though with that A series board I'm guessing that's a hard no.

You should make sure it's a quality PSU. If it is, you should be fine, but if it's not it might be iffy.

1. Why an a320 board?

2. Yes, but replace it asap as it's shit. Preferably cxm/cx 2017/MWE gold or better.
