RX 5700 XT upgrade?

[KhakiHat]

In short, I have a EVGA SuperNova G2 550w(80+ GOLD) that I'd like to pair with a new 5700 XT GPU.

 

Right now I have a i5 - 9600k(not overclocked) w/ a 1060 3GB which wattage wise seems to be fine. I saw that the 5700 XT recommends a 600w PSU but I know that can sometimes differ with other hardware being used as well quality of PSU.

Would I run into issues with that PSU and GPU config?

Should heat also be a concern of mine regarding the 5700 XT?

 

Proposed system specs:

 

Intel i5 - 9600k(not overclocked but on turbo)

Corsair H60 AIO

32GB Corsair DDR4, 3000Mhz(not overclocked)

Samsung 970 EVO M.2, 1TB

&

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB, Triple fans

A 9600K with a hefty Overclock and a 5700XT would draw like 350 watts

Easy clap. The G2 units are really good, and 550W will easily handle that system. GPU OEMs usually just quote higher wattages because for all they know you could have some crazy power hungry CPU in your rig, so they tend to quote a lot more headroom than the average user needs. 

IIRC the gigabyte 5700 XT is pretty good, temps shouldn't be an issue. The Sapphire Pulse is another good budget option, and if you wanna go high end then it's MSI Gaming X > Sapphire Nitro+ > PowerColor Red Devil.

Awesome, good to know.

 Also if you want more specifics on 5700 XT models to go for, HardwareUnboxed is the place to go, they've reviewed every single model of the 5700 XT that's out AFAIK.
