I already have the mentioned PSU and I don't want to buy a new one unless I rly need. According to tests, it can run around 490-500W on output on 100% load.
The build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yFK86s I want to OC my CPU around 4.0 - 4.1 GHz @ max 1.4 vcore and my GPU with +100MHz core and +1000Mhz memory.
I have seen so many reviews about the parts, and their power consumption, and i think this system will max use like 400W with heavy load. The GPUs tdp is 190W and limited to 225W in its bios, and i dont think the other parts will use an other 225W. The Ryzen 5 2600 with OC will use around 150-160W at 100% load, as far as I know.
If i really need to change a psu, do u think a 550 Bronze will will do? Lets say from CM or Corsair.

That unit is only rated for 456W on 12V, and doesn't look like the best quality unit to put it like that. If you weren't overclocking, I'd say you could probably get away with it. However since you ARE overclocking, I would advise you don't use that PSU.

You're building a nice system for a decent amount of money, why not get a proper 500-600W gold PSU to go along with it? This should be more than sufficient

But there is a lot of test with R5 2600 @4.2 with 1080 or 8700K @5.0 with 2060, and none of them tuched more than 380W on full load. In gaming they were around 270-300.
