Is the 600W power supply sufficient?

I recently purchased some components to build a PC for the family. It will mainly handle video playback, music, web browsing, and a few tax-related apps. I have a 600W PSU on hand, but I wasn’t certain if it would suffice. Could you share your advice? The parts include:
- Motherboard: MSI Pro B760M-P DDR
- CPU: Intel i5 12400F
- GPU: Asus ROG Strix RTX 2070 OC
- RAM: Silicon Power 3200MHz (PC4 25600) 2x16GB
- Hard Drive: Crucial P3 Plus M2.NVME
- External drive: 2TB SSD

Do you think the 600W PSU is adequate? I checked a calculator and it seemed close, but it actually worked. However, I wanted expert opinions to ensure everything functions properly without risking damage from insufficient voltage. Thanks!

The inquiry wouldn't depend solely on wattage, as it is possible. The focus would shift to identifying the specific power supply model and its age.

It appears to be a worn-out Raidmax Cobra Power 600W 80+ bronze model RX-600AF-B, probably over ten years old. Is this a positive sign?

Oh, little one Jebus... How welcoming are you to your insurance representative? That item wasn't great even in its new condition.

I would discard it immediately, though I’d make sure to break it with a hammer to ensure it’s out of reach and to grasp the notion of repurposing it.

Hahaha, I didn't have any issues at all.
Looking for a budget-friendly yet decent power supply, do you know anyone who might have some recommendations?
Thanks for the help!

The primary guideline when starting PC construction is to avoid using a low-quality power supply unit, as it is the only component that can ruin everything else (and might even cause a fire). Your unit was already subpar when it arrived, and now it’s ten years old. That’s a big no!

What I found suggests Gigabyte power supplies aren't ideal. I'd prefer the Seasonic Core V2 GX-650 or, if you're willing to invest more, the Corsair RM750X.
