Is a EVGA 500W 80 plus Bronce enough for a GTX 1070?

Go to solution Solved by Spotty,

That PSU will be fine.
Your GTX1070 draws around 175W and the Ryzen 5 2600X around 75W or so during gaming. Probably looking around 250-300W total power draw for the system.

Im about to build my first PC and one of my friends gave me his old psu, is an EVGA 500w 80 + Bronze, so I was wondering if that is going to be enough for a ryzen 5 2600x, a GTX 1070 EVGA SC and16GB of ram DDR4 at 3200. I know that you can use a psu calculators but there is some  stuff I don't understand, so I came here with the experts with experience in the matter. 

Thanks in advance.

should be alright - just make sure it has the power plugs required for that card (i think the 1070 is a single 8 pin?). if it doesn't have an 8-pin, don't use adapters, just get a power supply that has an 8-pin. asking power supplies to do things they weren't designed to do is usually a bad idea lmao

Yeah, it has a 8pin (6+2) connector
