I have a ATX WPC 500W,and an used RX 550 GPU with an i5 - 650, the estimated wattage of my system is 73W (i5 650) + 50W (RX 550) + a generous 40 = 163, theoretically, my PSU would be enough to handle these babies, HOWEVER, i dont see my PSU on the PSU tier list, and im way too scared to plug the gpu in.
additional information: I have a Intel H/M 55
Sorry if im reposting something, i tried searching for my problem everywhere.

Is it a Sharkoon WPC? I can only see 450W, 550W, 650W, and 750W models for the WPC range from Sharkoon, no 500W models.

There's little information on it and no reviews so it's hard to say if it's good or not, but at face value probably just a cheap entry level unit. I'm sure it would be fine for your system with an i5 650 and RX550.

 

If it's not the Sharkoon WPC can you post a photo of the label?

The computer was pre-built, it just says Fonte (PSU in portuguese) ATX WPC ( i think WPC means WorldPC, the company that sells pre-built PCs on Brazil ) 500W SKU (????) - 16004

Add info: i used to have a geforce 210 before i got the RX 550 the difference between the TDPs is only 19W ( 50 - 31 )

I thought it might have been this PSU from Sharkoon which has "WPC" written on it...

But if it's not that then I would have no idea what it is.

 

Only other thing I can find from a google search is this...

Is that the PSU you have? Based on the 12V (which is what is used by the CPU and GPU) being only rated for 23A/276W I'd say it's likely to be absolute junk, but I can't find anything more on it than that picture.
 

Would really need a photo of the label to work out what PSU you have to be able to tell you any more though.
