Yeah no prob... my system most likely draws around 550w from the wall, and my i7 takes up more power than your i5...

 

Bottom line, you will be fine with one gpu, but you wont have wiggle room for crossfire...

Cpu: Ryzen 2700 @ 4.0Ghz | Motherboard: Hero VI x370 | Gpu: EVGA RTX 2080 | Cooler: Custom Water loop | Ram: 16GB Trident Z 3000MHz

PSU: RM650x + Braided cables | Case:  painted Corsair c70 | Monitor: MSI 1440p 144hz VA | Drives: 500GB 850 Evo (OS)

probably not but it should boot but it will crash once you push it

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
