Will this work?

So i have a zalman zm500gs psu sitting in my old pc and i've got new parts (GTX 1070 Strix, Ryzen 2700x, Asus strix x470-f gaming & Corsair vengance 3000hz 2x8gb) I was wondering if this PSU would be able to power this setup. Note that the psu is 4-5 years old.

In terms of wattage alone, yes.

 

I personally wouldn't. PSUs are known to take other components with them when they die and you've got pretty high end hardware. It would be a shame to see all that go south because of a low quality PSU.

Ok, thanks

Zalman's are known to fail with 120V on one of the rails (12V/5V/3.3V) , and you are pushing old hardware, agree with Crunchy, don't do it bro.

That's an older unit that was pretty crap back when it was released. It would be very much advisable to get a new unit. A Corsair TX550M should suit your system fine. Most other PSUs around that price point will do nicely.
