I'm running a ryzen 5 1600 @3.6ghz stock voltage, a 120mm AIO, 3 case fans, 16GB corsair vengeance DDR4 2400mhz ram, 2 hard drives, 1 SSD, a GTX 1060 3GB, all powered by an EVGA BT 450 watt 80 plus bronze power supply. I plan on upgrading to the EVGA GTX 1070ti FTW ultra silent, will my power supply be enough for that? And if not, have any suggestions for a decent power supply under $75?

With the 1070ti, it will be close, but your psu should be fine for that, even with overclocking, I dare say

Wattage isn't a Problem, quality is.

And your PSU doesn't seem that high quality as that is more important than wattage, you should get a better one.

 

For example Bitfenix Formula. be quiet Straight Power 11 or Bitfenix Whisper M is to be preferred but outside of your budget.

 

But I'd totally violate teh Budget and spend 5 bucks more for a Cougar GX-F 550W (its sold for 79,99 Dollars on Newegg for example)

I think you should upgrade to like a 650 watt. Your current one will probably work, but only the minimum. better to be safe than sorry, especially with power supplies.

I think you have no idea what PC Components actually use.

650W is a waste for that. 

 

450W is sufficient, if the Quality is right, 550W might be an option, but 650W is a waste of money, especially since he can't afford a good quality 650W unit and getting a crappy 650W Bronze unit that's also group regulated just makes ZERO Sense.
