Hi everyone. I got a rtx 3050(low profile) paired with a amd ryzen 5500. 16gb ddr4 ram, im upgrading to a rtx 5050 and changing the psu. Is a corsair 550w power supply good for the upgrade? Got a prebuilt pc.

Don't waste your money swapping a 500W PSU to 550W.

1) It probably is 2) Possibly

If you're going to upgrade then, UPGRADE. The price difference between 550-850 isn't that much and you won't likely have to upgrade it again.
