Hello, I am upgrading my PC for gaming. This is the gear I am going to buy:

- EVGA 1070 GTX SC 1594
- AMD Ryzen 1600X
- 2x8 Corsair Vengeance LTX 3000 mHz C15
- A 256 GB Samsung SSD
- MSI B450 Tomahawk

Now, I want to keep my old PSU which is:
- Cooler Master RS 500 PCAP-J3

AC INPUT | 220-240V~ 7A 50Hz |
DC OUTPUT | +3.3V | +5V | +12V1 | +12V2 | -12V | +5VSB |
MAX OUTPUT | 130W(for 3.3V and 5.5V) | 360W(for +12V) | 9.6W(for -12V) | 12.5W(for 5VSB) |

Will this handle my gear or do I need to upgrade this as well?

Also, what do you think about this gear, I will play games in 1080p 60Hz.

NO....

If you have the money to invest in the rest of the parts you are getting then spend some money and get a good PSU.

Or you risk damaging the NEW parts you are getting.

Your PSU budget is a joke, and all you will end up with is a system killer PSU.

Here is a great unit for your build:
