Best for you to measure your PSU and use those for

comparison against a new PSU. Maybe you can avoid that if you have the exact PSU name and model number for reference and can check the web.

The other thing is the GPU selected has 500W PSU minimum and the proposed PSU is 500W. Usually better to have some headroom to ensure it supports what you get right now and 12-18 months out. These components are generic and can be carried forward to a new system whenever you decide to do that.

just be sure the cables exit on the side you want them to when installed. Some are a bit different and which you want depends on whether you have a common "whitebox' type computer or one of the OEM reverse type of cases.
