My current pc build has a Vega 56 and a i5 8400 will I be able to use a 600 watt 80+ bronze power supply without breaking my pc parts like for example the evga 600b? And also do I need 600 watts or can I go down some?

PC build as in you have the parts or you want the parts?

EVGA 600B is a pretty bad PSU, I would look at the CX (2017) variants from Corsair for example. 550+ watts for the Vega 56 I think is ideal with 600+ being recommended but I can't recall exactly.

 

A nice rule of thumb is Tier 4 to Tier 1 from this thread are decent but Tier 3 to Tier 1 are ideal with Tier 1 being the best (and usually more expensive):

I have a cx750m and it handles my 1080 fine. Its not that loud, haven't noticed coil whine. Got mine for 70.

Yah, the CXM series is pretty solid too and pretty well priced

Would a cx 550 be enough to power the Vega 56

On pcpartpicker it said that my wattage was 300 but I have heard a lot of people say you should go for a 650w.

Depends on the overclocks you plan to push on the GPU but paired with an 8400 I think you'll be fine with 550 watts. If you were looking at like an 8700K with some heavy overclocks then 600 to 650 might be a good idea.
