im going for a ryzen 5 1600 with a xfx rx 480 gtr and 8 gigs of ram. my question now is how much watt wil i be needing for my pc?. 

You could probably get by with a 450w.  You can plug your parts into a Parts List at http://pcpartpicker.com and it'll give you a wattage estimate.

I'd recommend the Corsair CX450M on the low budget side up to the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 on the higher side.

PSU Tier List Updated

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x  Board: Asus PRIME X570-P  Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x8) DDR4-3000  Case: Fractal Design Define S

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070  SSD: HP EX950 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME  HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM

PSU: SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Platinum 750W  Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4  Monitor: Viotek GFT27DB 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz

I tend to consult the Tier List I linked, as I'm no expert on PSUs.  It's a bit further down the list than I'd personally prefer, but it should work.  Perhaps it could give you a goal as something to update when budget permits.

PSU: SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Platinum 750W  Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4  Monitor: Viotek GFT27DB 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz

No, it's rather bad since it's a unit designed for basic builds. If you're upgrading, you might as well upgrade the PSU as well.

 

Get the aforementioned Corsair CX450M.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

A Seasonic Focus Plus 550W can be found for a pretty good price as well as a Corsair TX550M.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

A good 400-550W PSU is more than sufficient.
