Is 500 watt psu enough for AMD radeon RX 550?

What the title says I need to know if that will be enough I plan on building a rig soon sort of on the budget end of things.

As long as it's a decent 500w it's plenty of power for a RX550.

More than enough. Even a 350W PSU will do as the RX 550 is a very low power-consuming card.
