I don't mind upgrading the PSU in the next few months, but would i be okay for now?

I thought we had been through this in the other thread? All that arguing for nothing. It should manage it at stock, just don't do any overclocking until you replace it. When you do replace it buy something decent.

When you list the Ryzen R5 1500 I presume you mean the 1500x? I wouldn't buy that as the 1600 is only £15 extra and has a pair of extra cores and threads (6 cores/12 threads) plus it comes with the very good AMD Wraith cooler so you won't need the Alpine AMD64 cooler (the Wraith is much better). There's actually a bundle deal here that get's you a 1600 and a Asrock B350 board for £1 less than you are paying for the 1500x and the Gigabyte B350 board. Get rid of the Alpine cooler and you will save money yet have a better cpu.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Asrock AB350 Pro4 - AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600 CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£15 Discount**= £272.98

If you really want a board with fancy led's there's this bundle with the 1600 and the Asus ROG Strix B350-F which features RGB lighting for only a little more than the Asrock B350/1600 bundle.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Asus ROG Strix B350-F & AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600 CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£20 Discount**= £286.93

That's a good deal.

They were out of stock

That PSU is enough, assuming it hasn't been heavily used for long time and isn't worn.
(not the best capacitors in cheaper Corsairs)

That sucks, it was in stock when I suggested it. What about the cheaper one then? The only difference really is it doesn't have any lighting (that's a plus point for me).

I really need lighting to go with rest of the set up

Really sucks they went out of stock the second I went to buy it

A lot of people browse this forum so I wouldn't be surprised if someone else saw it here and went for it, after all that is a nice deal.
