I ordered a RX 580 8GB but now im kind of scared my psu won't be enough for my system with that gpu.

Here is my pc specs.

Ryzen 5 1600
ASRock a320m-dgs mobo
1×8GB Ballistix DDR4
RX 580 8GB Red Devil
1 TB Western Digital HDD 7200 RPM
EVGA 450w 80+ Bronze

It would not be "recommended" but you can likely get away with it. You could potentially be pushing it to the limits under certain conditions.

For reference, my system is the following:

AMD FX-8370 @ 4.56GHz
XFX Radeon RX 580 GTR-S 8GB @ 1515MHz / 2250MHz
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R.0
2x8GB ADATA XPG V3 @ 2132MHz 10-11-11-30

My power draw should be significantly higher than yours and I haven't seen it break 500W, even under heavy stress testing.

I use it with a CX 430w, it works fine (as long as you don't overclock it), but makes coils wine and the PSU fan runs at full speed - its noisy, but it works. I want to buy a more powerfull PSU to make everything quiet again.
