Power supply question

Hey guys. I was thinking of upgrading my graphics card from an rx480 to a 5700xt. Then i remembered that maybe i should check my power supply. I have an Antec VP500P (550 W). Is that power supply good enough or should I maybe look into getting a better one. For other components i have a 1600x cpu, 1 hdd and 1 ssd. 

 

Thanks in advance :D

It will be enough power-wise, however that is not a good PSU at all and I would therefore recommend an upgrade. Remember that if the PSU blows it could take other components with it. 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X  |  Cooler: Cryorig H7  |  Motherboard: MSI B450 Mortar  |  Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Mini  |  RAM: 32GB DDR4 3000MHz  |  GPU: EVGA 1070ti Gaming (Kraken G12 Watercooled) |  PSU: Corsair TXM650  |  Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB + WD Blue M.2 500GB  |  Network Card: Asus PCE-AC56  |  Monitor: Acer Nitro VG270U  |  Audio: Sennheiser HD6XX + Schiit Fulla 2

The power supply is stromg enough if you just look at the power draw, but the quality of the PSU seems to be bad overall. So if you can afford it, look at this list and pick a better one^^
