The PSU code is reliable like:

SSR-550M means 550W

it came with a 

i5 3470S

4gm ram

500gb hdd

no gpu(thats why I am upgrading)

 

I've spent many man hours refurbishing prebuilts and knowing the system configurators, they intend to cut costs by only supplying a PSU which meets the recommended wattage for the said system without leaving much if not any room for any extra upgrades. But there is always the odd chance that there's enough headroom for a 75 watt GPU. Without any specifics, it's impossible to tell accurately though.

I suck a typing, preparw for typos.

Manufacturer, Brand, tower model number would be great too.

just check the psu label, it should say the amount of wattage, or the total amount of amps on the rails.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

Also make sure you have the right power connector for the rx 560 model you are buying (should be 8 pin) .. if you have to get a molex adaptor and the PSU doesnt have that connector then it would be safer to get a new PSU

MSI rx 560 aero does not need one

Will 2x4pin connector work? Crosshair doesn't have 8pin originally i think

I want to add a RX 560, and it does not a need extra power connectors

I checked out the pc and there is a PCI-E slot(x16, no idea what generation)

and also going to add 4gb ram

Same, but i am getting GTX 970 so it's gonna be way different than yours. 4GB RAM? Is it DDR3?
