The psu seems to be made by Lite-On  and apparently it has 3 power rails, but all have 18A limit (~ 216 watts)

Vmain is probably the 24pin atx connector (or whatever HP uses instead of 24pin) and peripherals (molex,sata)  

Vcpu is probably just the cpu power (eps, cpu 4 pin , whatevery they use)

VG is most likely the pci-e 6 pin / 8 pin connector.

 

The video card will probably take 30-50w through the pci-e slot, so from Vmain, and the rest through the pci-e 8 pin connector (under 150 watts) ... so the 18A (or 216w) limits should not be hit.

 

You can probably decrease the video card's power consumption by around 10-20 watts by moving the power limit slider in the AMD control center.

There's also other settings there that can make a video card consume less power, like AMD Chill or other options.

How many Amps can your Psu provide at the 12V rail? Which exact model is it and how old? How many pci-e power does it have?

The 6600xt consumes around 160-180 watts. 

The Ryzen 5600x maybe 80-100 watts if you don't mess around with overclocking, pbo etc

 

If it's a good model from a brand name, and you have all it's not a multi rail power supply, I'd say it's around 85-90% chance it will work. 

If the power supply can't handle it, worst case scenario you'd get shut downs, resets etc ..

400W PSUs are rarely good or even decent, OP should upgrade it

Its A prebuilt PSU so its a sorta reputable brand, If it doesnt work could i undervolt it to work?

Vmain is probably the 24pin atx connector (or whatever HP uses instead of 24pin) and peripherals (molex,sata)  

Vcpu is probably just the cpu power (eps, cpu 4 pin , whatevery they use)

VG is most likely the pci-e 6 pin / 8 pin connector.

 

The video card will probably take 30-50w through the pci-e slot, so from Vmain, and the rest through the pci-e 8 pin connector (under 150 watts) ... so the 18A (or 216w) limits should not be hit.

 

You can probably decrease the video card's power consumption by around 10-20 watts by moving the power limit slider in the AMD control center.

There's also other settings there that can make a video card consume less power, like AMD Chill or other options.
