you definitely should if you plan to overclock the cpu or gpu a bit, and do overclock, just follow a tutorial online, so yeah, and for future upgrades, go with a 650 or 750 watt for that extra headroom for upgrades

Don’t take everything I say seriously 

take it with a grain of s a l t

Wattage is adequate, but I don't know what model the power supply is. Can you make a pcpartpicker.com list?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Depend on the PSU quality, 500w is enough.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

It's enough, but I wouldn't really recommend it, however, especially if you're overclocking. Also this is a prebuilder right? Any reason why you're getting a prebuilt? 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.
