“The PSU listed with the build is a 500 Watt, however to power both the 3060 and the i5 combined it will be more than the 500 Watt can handle. Would this PC still even work?”

This PC works completely fine under GPU FULL LOAD, I have not tried to overclock the GPU as I have not seen any game so far that doesn't run at least 144 fps and I haven't encountered an application (as a gamer) that fully loads the RYZEN 5 7600 CPU that is clocked at 4.5 GHZ instead of the standard 3.8 GHZ.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Something must be mis-labeled in the specs. It does have a 3060. It does work. Lol
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That's not true. The RTX 3060, itself, takes a maximum of around 170 Watts. Lots of RTX 3060 systems have only 500 Watt PSUs -- including mine. I certainly wouldn't mind having a heftier PSU; but in the more than six months I've had it, I've had no problems.
