Ryzen 3600 and 5700 xt on 500w?

I have a Be Quiet! 500W 80 Plus Gold

Ryzen 3600
5700xt
2 ssd
1 hdd
4 case fans and no rgb

Will 500w be enough? The website I used said it would but I'm skeptical. I plan no overclocking on the cpu, maybe a little on the gpu.

Is this a Straight Power 500w? If so which version is it? Depending on the version it will have either 456w or 480w across quad 12v rails. The older 456w version isn't particularly good but the newer 480w version is ok although personally I would want a bit more spare headroom especially if you overclock anything. As your psu is a multi 12v rail unit make sure you power the gpu with two seperate pci-e cables.

It may be OK if you run the 3600 on stock. However if you overclock you may need a larger PSU.
