I am planning to upgrade my HP Pavilion 590-p0103wb CPU to an AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen 2600 (TDP 65W) and also add an AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 100-5-5999 Half Height video card (TDP 50W).
My PC currently has a 180W PSU, and I want to know if I would need to upgrade the PSU to a 400W PSU to add these components.
I also recently upgraded my RAM to 2x 16GB DDR4-3200 (32GB).

-- AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen 2600 (TDP 65W)
-- AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 100-5-5999 Half Height video card (TDP 50W)
-- 180 Watt power-supply
What else is connected that would consume the remaining 65 Watts:
-- motherboard?
-- RAM (1.5 Volts, and almost zero Amperes; wattage is defined as voltage times amperage)
-- CD/DVD device (20 Watts when "burning") ?
-- fans? (minimal wattage)
-- USB ports (keyboard, mouse, USB memory-stick, web-camera)
-- spinning disk-drive (2 Watts) ?
-- SSD (much less than 1 Watt)?
Does that exceed the 65 Watts that you have available?
Your monitor & printer have their own power-supply -- they do not draw from your computer's power-supply.
