This is my build with some parts I recently ordered and some hardware I already own, I wanted to overclock my Ryzen to the 3.8-3.9ghz range and I don't know if my current wattage is enough. On PC Part picker my current wattage is displayed as 440w https://gyazo.com/8d9b025b3616cdb43b7ca20a3fc6fdf0
But when I put in my specs in a PSU calculator they've come out to being 620-650w https://gyazo.com/2cc7c35abdaa3efbeb56137a62f44e31 (outervision) . Given, that I put my usage of my hardware 16 hours of the day, just to be safe. Also putting it through the cooler master PSU calculator: https://gyazo.com/6deb6a3858df89168d52abcd5396ea74

Did I mess up? Should I invest in some 700-750watts? Or is my current 600w PSU enough for an overclocked system?

Nope. Your wattage is fine. Those parts wont draw more than 450w even when overclocked. But that EVGA unit is mediocre. Invest in a better quality PSU like Seasonic S12II/M12II, Corsair CXM/RMX, Evga Supernova G2/G3/GS.

Use these as loose reference... https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

On a side not, ditch that extra HDD and get a SSD. You will get better performance.

Unfortunately I already own the mediocre PSU as it was a gift from a while ago. Hopefully it wont be bad if I use it for this build. Thanks for the quick reply
