Hi! I have been thinking on upgrading my PSU I have a Seasonic S12II 520W 80+ been using this from April 2016 and it is still kicking.

 

I am rocking Ryzen 5 2600 and MSI GTX 1050ti with 2x8gb 3000mhz memory, 2 SATA, and a PCIE SSD.

I wanted to upgrade to a ASUS STRIX RTX 2070Super (ROG-Strix-RTX2070S-A8G-GAMING). 

 

I will run them stock without overclocking. I wanted to know the best decision, should I go for the Video Card and upgrade to a better PSU later or

is it better to buy the PSU first then upgrade my Video Card, I also have checked a PSU Calculator Wattage, recommendations were a 620w unit. I will buy 

a 750w for a longer usage if you can suggest a better Power Supply it would be great. I have a budget for a 750w unit around 200$-250$ eyeing

for Seasonic Prime TX Titanium 750watts

Yes, replace it if that's what you plan on doing.

 

The Corsair RMX 750W is an excellent PSU as an example.

 

But the Prime TX is also excellent.
