What are the pc specs?

Those are some pretty nice power supplies, both of them.
I don't know your computers specs but 650W should be more than enough for an average rig.

 

Edit: you should try seeing your worse case sceneario wattage usage with pcpartpicker, and counter in any upgrades you might make in the future

you already own all those parts?

 

If you want to upgrade your PSU better buy something like a bitfenix formula/whisper M or corsair RMx/RMi

Ah yes of course overclocking will bump up the wattage on your cpu.
But still, does he need to buy a whole new psu just to overclock now??????? He already has a 500w

We still don't know bc 500W bronze says nothing, it could be either garbage or a decent PSU. And I think it's the former not the latter

Well since OP didn't list the model so it might be a craptastic bargain bin supply, GQ would be better than some 7 year old raidmax boi

An upgrade worth 70 dollars? It's a 90 plus bronze it's fine

ofc he didn't list the model bc for like 99% of people wattage, brand and 80+ rating are the only relevant aspects of a PSU

80+ bronze means nothing, and good quality PSUs usually come with x50W capacities and 80+ gold or higher ratings so...

I meant that if it is a 500W 80+ bronze there's no way that it's so crappy OP has to spend 70 dollars to get a new one with no further reason at all except overclocking.

I mean your advice here has impact on if this guy thinks he has to spend 70 dollars on a psu I'd say he doesn't need.

Its a cheaper power supply it was 25$ CAD brand new was some weird chinese name power supply took the werid tag off it so i dont remeber the exact company but i mainly got it to use  for just a month or 2 as i dumped more monet then i should of into a headset keyboard and mouse pad  and that resulted in not having enough $ for the psu so i just bought the 850watt insted rn beacuse its a 20$ CAD diffrence (15usd) and i dont mind spending that has i am getting a rtx 2080 soon so i want it to be able to handle a 5ghz oc and the card and i am planning on giving the i3 to my buddy and getting a i7 or i5 9th gen so just dont want any problems there thabks for all the help guys!
