Is my 80+ white psu any good?

[thatpc.]

It’s been about a year since I built my pc and at the time I picked a evga 500w 80+ white rated power supply. At this time I’m starting to regret the choice of getting those low rated psu. Nothing has gone wrong but will something?. I really have this feeling when it comes to pc parts since they are expensive. I will probably change the psu when I change my case but as for now I just need some advice on if this is good or not even if nothing has gone wrong.

What is the model of psu?

if you are talking about EVGA W1...

it´s just only a mediocre performance and low quality PSU... which I personally will not recommend to anyone.

So it's an EVGA W1? That's the only 500W 80+ Standard PSU that EVGA has. Your forum signature specs say EVGA BR 500W though?

 

It's a pretty cheap low end PSU. Probably won't explode, but I wouldn't use it for anything more than a really basic system.

At the time I thought this was a good inexpensive psu. It has been running fine but I guess I should change it?

I put evga BR 500w for no reason cause I got confused with this all. But I guess I have a medium specked system? But I have high regrets on buying this now.

if you plan to upgrade, definitely yes...

 

I WOULD NOT USE THAT PSU WITH MORE THAN A 3400G or a really low power GPU

Wow I really didn’t know this psu was not made for this kind of system. I always thought this one was not good enough but I didn’t do enough research on which one to buy stuff like that.

It's no worse than any other PSUs in its price range.

 

For your system with a Ryzen 5 2600 and RX 570 there's really not that much point changing it. Just keep it.

nothing would happen to my PC right? since I just heard this info now im kind of scared but if I do upgrade down the line (case etc.) I should change it or leave it for now.
