Again, which 80+ bronze CM? I'm not sure why you downvoted that post, but there are a lot of different CM PSU out there. Many are rated 80+ bronze, some are good, some are ok, and some are junk. The RX480 can draw some power so it's important to buy a good PSU.

Well, considering that your cpu doesn't draw much power i'd say it's probably ok for now.
However, if you plan to upgrade your cpu any time soon then i'd recommend a new psu.
Something like an EVGA G2 650W or Corsair RM650x, on a lower budget the Corsair CX650 is a great option.

The MasterWatt Lite 500W Full Range (MPX-5001-ACAAW) does not have 80 PLUS BRONZE certification. It only received 80 PLUS STANDARD certification.

The OEM is Enhance Electronics and that model uses a group regulated secondary side. Enhance Electronics is better than some of the other OEMs that Cooler Master has used in the past like Solytech or Seventeam.

It is definitely sufficient for the system specs you've listed:

I3 6100
RX 480(8gb)
16 ddr4 ram
SSD
HDD

I'd rank that PSU at the same level as a Corsair VS500.
