HP OMEN 880-146NF
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Is my power supply of 500 watts and powerful enought to support: an I7-8700, a GTX 1050 ti, an 8GB RX 580, a Tampa2 motherboard, a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive, a 2TB 7200rpm hard drive, and a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler.
Can my power supply withstand all of this ?

Using 2 different graphics cards
Yes, this can technically work—both cards will give you graphical output. However, different cards cannot be linked together to function as a GPU array (CrossFire or SLI), so you generally won't be able to use them together to render graphics in games.

If i put one screen on one graphics card and another screen on the other graphics card, will the 2 screens be able to be "linked" ?

IHMO, not with the same game.  You need two identical cards operating with the SLI cabling to the other card.

HP should be contacted because I do not know if your motherboard is SLI capable.

To come back to my question of power, will my power supply have enought power where i have to buy a more efficient one ?

@HexBug78l,

Your system as equipped, operates with a 500W PSU.  The RX 580 will add another 185W-200W load.

Looks in the 750W that will fit into your case.
