I have EVGA 400w will is it enough for RX 560 4G OC Edition? The Saphire website said it only need 400w Psu. But when it arrived in the box tell me that i need a minimum 500w or greater PSU. So is it enough? I don't plan to overclocking anything

The 560 only uses 75-85 watts but the EVGA 400W models are some of the worst power supplies on the market so I would not use them if I had the option.

wattage wise it's fine, im going to assume its either the w1 or the n1, while it should be ine with a low powered gpu, i would switch it if possible.

This power supply will be just fine for your GPU but I recommend a 500W or 600W unit at minimum if you want to keep your PSU for longer, beause I'm assuming you will be upgrading. There are some pretty cheap units from renowned brands so try looking a bit more

The issue isn't wattage. It never is. It's quality. His system will pull 200W at most. But the EVGA W/N models are utter trash

wattage, brand and efficiency are not quality. also a 2080ti and a  3950x can run on a 450w decent unit, so no, not really.
