Hi folks!
Long time reader - first time post.
I have this psu: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007
Its connected to my i7 920 processor.
I'm considering buying a ryzen 1500X and a GTX 1060.
The motherboard i have in mind is MSI B350M GAMING PRO Bundkort - AMD B350.
But the question is - can this be powered my old Antec earthwatts EA500 500W?
I think there is more than enough watts as far as i can calculate. I am worried that the psu might not be useful with the newer ryzen setup :)
I'm on a bit of budget - so thats why i dont really want to change my psu.


 
Solution
The important number is the +12V rails' capacity. According to the nameplate, they have a 408W capacity. That should be fine for your new system you are planning. But if you feel like OC'ing either the card or the CPU, you may want to consider upgrading to a stronger PSU.
