Please Help NOOB BUILDING PC

[Hello_Please_Help]

Please Help! I’m trying to build A computer and I have a EVGA 500BR PSU, (EVGA 500 BR 100-BR-0500-K1 500W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-Modular Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-438-145)

and I’m hoping it can handle all the items I throw in it! But I need to verify it’ll work! 

I’m going to use a Ryzen 5 1600 with its stock cooler, I’m going to use TimeTec 8x2GB DDR4, I’m going to use a PNY GTX 770 2GB, a OSCOO SSD, (the unknown brand items should not be too power consuming), the motherboard is a AB350M Pro4, and a couple of RGB fans and RGB strips, please REPLY TO HELP ME! Thanks :D!

 

BTW not overclocking, at least not right now! Lol

Yeah, 500 watts should be enough.

Why did you buy a PSU that there are no reviews for? DC-DC regulated, but a crappy fan, a 3 year warranty and a 30°C temperature rating, so it's probably not very good. 

Should probably run fine.

 I bought it because it was on sale for $20, and it’s made by EVGA! I looked around and found out the 770 needs a 12V singular rail with a rating of 42, my PSU has a 12V singular rail with a rating of 41.7 so it should be good!

The CX450/M also goes for sale for a similar price, and those are known to be good. 

EVGA doesn't make any PSUs. And they're quite capable of selling crappy PSUs with an EVGA sticker on them, just like any other company. Their crappy PSUs, off the top of my head are the N1, W1, B1, B3, G1, NEX G and NEX B. 

There's more to a PSU than how many amps it has on the 12V rail(s). And having multiple rails is preferred to a single rail. Just like having several fuses in a house is preferred to having a single fuse.

^^^ I run a Ryzen 7 2700X and 980 Ti off a 550W PSU (albeit a much more high quality one, the EVGA G3) just fine, you shouldn't have any issues where wattage is concerned.

So my PSU should be able to function with the Ryzen 1600 and the GTX 770

I’ve used their psu and their reliable! But I just want to make sure it’ll function, it will never be under full stress but it’ll have to handle games like GTA V!

So the PAU is good enough to handle the build?

EVGA, as he said, doesn't "make" their own PSUs. They have OEMs for that and they have price points for everything. Your 20 dollar unit is so far removed from a 1600 T2 you're on the wrong zipcode.

 

That unit is not very good and I would not put it in a system with a dGPU. It has zero professional reviews, is very recent, has a short warranty, and is of questionable quality given its price point.

Wattage wise you should be fine, but:

Basically reliability wise it's pretty questionable, $40 or so is usually the cheapest you can get a decent PSU unless there's a sale on something like the Corsair CXM series or 2017 and newer CX series.

More expensive doesn't always denote quality though.

There's probably a reason a 500W power supply was on sale for 20 dollars. The PSU isn't even listed on newegg anymore. They wanted that gone fast.

 

Almost all PSUs have a 12v rail btw 

 

Take a look at this and rank it yourself:
