500W will be more than enough, but it's more about the PSU's quality than the wattage written on it. If you're looking for something that's not too expensive (not super cheap either as you should pretty much never cheap out on your PSU), I'd suggest you something like a be quiet! Pure Power 11 or Corsair CX or TXM. 550W would be a good option, as it will also give you some headroom for whenever you're looking to upgrade in the future, but you could also get by with the 450W version of these units. For other options I'd suggest you take a look at the forum's PSU tier list.

Desktop: Intel Core i9-9900K | ASUS Strix Z390-F | G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB @ 3200MHz CL14 | EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC Ultra | Corsair RM650x | Fractal Design Define R6

Laptop: 2018 Apple MacBook Pro 13"  --  i5-8259U | 8GB LPDDR3 | 512GB NVMe

Peripherals: Leopold FC660C w/ Topre Silent 45g | Logitech MX Master 3 & Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed | HIFIMAN HE400se & iFi ZEN DAC | Audio-Technica AT2020USB+

Display: Gigabyte G34WQC

Yes, if it is a decent 500w psu, it will be more than fine.

What model is your psu?

Look at psu tier list if in doubt:

 

I plan to get a be quiet System Power 9, it shouldn't be that bad right?

It is tier B, so totally fine.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

I am running the same card and a r3600 on a 380 watt  psu and can still overclock, 500 watts is more than enough.
