and can i use a 500w even it's recommended PSU is 550w? i know its a dumb question but im dodging to buy a new PSU. is this okay?

Yes 500W is plenty for your system.

i run a Ryzen 2700 with OC and a RTX 2080 super on a 550W PSU without any problems so you will be fine.

Will it bottleneck?

wattage is good, quality is not. That is either tier C or tier D psu (only for office or apu systems)

 

your system will pull around 300w but that psu is a fire hazard. replace it first. Take a psu that is atleast tier B psu form this list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Do you already have the Ryzen 5 3400G?

 

The 5700XT, if it's the 8+6 PCi-E power version and not a custom 8+8, can draw a max of 300W over 12V (not counting voltage spikes).

8+8 adds 75W on top of that.

 

The 12V rail is the most used rail in a modern system. The motherboard, CPU, SSD-s and HDD-s, Fans - everything runs off the 12V.

 

Your PSU is able to handle up to 456W on 12V. Lower than that if it's a few years old (capacitor degradation).

 

Under heavy load there might be instabillities if voltage spikes happen.

 

Also, the 3400G would bottleneck a 5700XT unless running 4K or 1440p ultrawide. You'd need a better CPU.

What exactly do you have and what's your upgrade/build budget?

How much ram and what frequency? Screen resolution?

I can recommend the optimal upgrade path if you provide enough info.

16 GB RAM

Dual Monitor (1320 x 768 and 3840 x 2160)

 

Budget maybe around 300 to 400?

Yes, a 4k mointor.

 

If i will play 4k? well, depends. I play mostly FPS (Valorant, Warzone) Path of Exile. Diablo 4 soon. 1080p gaming. I never exoerienced 1440p yet like really.

is my answer enough? im so bad at this, sorry. :D

 

And i will not OC anything. Thats why im so torn. some say i should but a higher PSU than 500w for 5700xt or 2060s.

 

 

i want to really maximize it. :(
