Nope, 5000 or 6000 series GPUs need at least 750W PSU, but I suggest 850W.
Price starts at $90 plus tax on Newegg, but you'll save money and get free shipping:

Thank you for your response. However, the Radeon 5000 and 6000 GPUs don’t need 750W. A 225W or lower GPU combined with a 65W CPU will comfortably run on a 600W power supply as long as it delivers sufficient current at 12V. Using 750W is unnecessary and an 850W PSU would be an overpayment for this scenario.
Thanks! This aligns with what I expected in this price range.

This is likely the most affordable yet reliable PSU option available in the US market according to PCPP.
A more budget-friendly choice might require checking price comparison sites or contacting local suppliers.
Great news! A B Tier PSU fits comfortably within the budget. I believe we've secured our best option. The rebate reduces its appeal, so I'm also evaluating these C tier alternatives:
