First of all, I am looking forward to the 570x but I am worried about my watt usage as I have 500w with an i7 6700k and a gtx1080( also 32gb of ram, wlan and bluetooth cards, a dvd drive which I am going to remove and an hdd with 3tb and 5.4 rpm and an ssd). The load I am testing with isn't really considered testing but its more like my daily use, which means playing video games. Such as for honor, Rust and Assasin's Creed Origins. Funny enough in Assasin's Creed Origins it thermal throtled?( It made a VERY loud fan sound)

If you're using the system with its stock components, you shouldn't worry about the psu not being powerful enough. 500w is fine as long as it's a psu of good quality. 

Loud fans do not indicate thermal throttling. If the system is throttling, you should see it in the form of performance drops.

A case with more fan support like the 570x should definitely help temps.

That's not enough information to go on. What's the model name?

Are you using the system with its stock components?

I don't really know a lot more. I use the stock components of the system.

The model name should be on a sticker label at the side of the psu.

The system should be fine with the included psu and you shouldn't worry about it unless you encounter issues that may indicate a problem with it.

Cable management would help

no, Luke did a video and tested this, cable management made absolutely ZERO difference and the only way to get the temperatures to increase was to put empty boxes and extra sets of cables into the case.

think he means to get it better organized so we can get a better look of his layout.

Pretty hard to see with that lump of wire blocking the inside

That's the efficiency rating and not the model name.

For example, the name here is ATX0300AWWA Rev. A00
