I'm wondering if a 500W 80+ Bronze power supply is enough to power my setup, which includes an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, an AMD Radeon 6650 XT, and a Gigabyte AX micro motherboard with 32GB of RAM (2x16GB). Will it handle everything, or should I consider an upgrade?

The max power draw for your configuration is around 480W, so 500W is definitely enough to keep things running smoothly.
You might want to try using PCPartPicker to see the total draw for your system. It usually helps to add about 100W to that for safety, and at 500W, you should be just fine for your setup!
I think it could handle a 5060 ti without issue, but make sure you check your total watts if you plan on adding new components later.
Just a heads up, a PSU can last through several upgrades. If you think you might go for a higher-end GPU or a 1440p monitor later on, consider bumping up to a 650W unit for a little extra headroom without spending too much more.
Yes, it should work, but keep in mind that you won't have much room left if you plan to charge multiple USB devices at the same time.
