Hi all

Is 500 W power supply powerful enough to handle overclocked Ryzen 3 1200 or Ryzen 5 1600 (haven't decided yet)?

I was thinking something like Be quiet! Pure Power 10 CM 500W PSU http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/761

I intend to use it with RX 570 or GTX 1060 GPU and some low end second GPU like GT 730.

Thanks for your help

I would give it some room for an upgrade path and resale.

Thanks for quick reply... Do you think even 400 W would be enough (Be quiet PSU calculator even suggest I should go with PURE POWER 10 | 400W (75 % load PSU at max 300 W usage) or is this pushing it?
