550W is enough

CPU, 2060 Super would barely be a upgrade if at all

I went to check about the bottlenecking with Ryzen 5 3600 and the GT 1070.

It shows that the gpu is too weak for the processor.

Don't use bottlenecking calculators, they are BS. Upgrade your cpu/mobo/ram and them save money for a more significant upgrade, like the 2070 super.

Also, yes, a 550w bronze/gold psu will be enough. Look at the psu tier list in my signature and puck something from tiers B and above. My recommendation is a corsair tx550m

Thanks for the advice.

TXM or RMX you need to see it with the Tier list on LTT forum. its modular so you can plug off all the cable that is not use for. and for the CPU if you want upgrade in future after 2060S then the 3700X is good choice. so you can bump up after 2060S
