I'm working on a PC build featuring the Ryzen 7 5700G, which doesn't include a dedicated GPU at the moment. However, my case comes with a 250W power supply. I'm wondering if it's wise to stick with this 250W PSU for the time being or if it's too risky for long-term usage? I estimate that the total wattage for my setup is around 155W. Here are my core components: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (65W), Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 motherboard (15-60W), two Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB RAM sticks (7-10W each), and a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SATA SSD (2-10W). I also have a monitor and a UPS. Am I okay with this power supply?

Honestly, I wouldn't trust a power supply from Gamdias, especially a low-capacity one like that. You might want to consider upgrading it if you plan on doing anything demanding in the future.
Instead of spending time and money on a low-end system, I think it's better to just find a used PC. You'll likely have a better experience for the same budget.
Totally agree! A second-hand PC at the same price can give you way better performance.
