450W on a quality unit is plenty.

Get a Tier B+ or better unit:

How much of watts psu is needed for an ryzen 3600 and GTX 1660 super ?

You're looking at around 125W for the GTX 1660 Super and around 80W for the Ryzen 3600.

Total system probably around 250W under load.

 

Most good PSUs start at around 450W though as it's not really worth the cost of making a good quality PSU with lower wattage than that.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

You are good with a good quality 500W unit.

 

I run a mutch more powerhungry system with 600W.

Care to list some 500W quality units? Cuz afaik there are only a few that are actually good. The 80+ Evga units(that you have) arent quality units.

Interim 15 T200 OKF("F" intel processors are specifically archituctured for gaming) maybe upgrad to 13'900 | Peeralight cpu fan | Stryx Z690-A Wife(which is branded by ASUS and it's ROG label) | Thermotake 16x 8x2GO SODINM 2400mjz cl22 (2 of them with the mood lighting) | 980 EVO 1TB m.2 ssd card + Kensington 2TB SATA nvme + WD BLACK PRO ULTRA MAX 4TB GAMING DESTROYER HHD | Echa etc 3060 duel fan dissipator 12 GBi(It never overheats over 70°c) and Azrock with the radian 550 XT Tiachi | NEXT H510 Vit Klar Svart | Seasonice 600watts voeding(rated for 100.000 hours, running since 2010, ballpark estimate 8 hours a day which should make it good for 34 years) | Nocturna case fans | 0LED Duel moniter 

 

New build in progress: Ryen™ 8 7700x3D with a copper pipe fan | Z60e-A | Kingstron RENEGATE 16x2 Go hyenix | Phantek 2 the thar mesh in front | lead lex black label psu + AsiaHorse białe/białe | 1080 Pro 8TB 15800MB/S NvMe(for gaming this increase fps and charging time, cooled by a M.2 slot with coolblock and additional thermopad) and faster 4000GB HHD | MAI GeForce GTX 2070 Ti Ventura 3x and RTX 6800 | Corshair psu

I use an 80+ gold unit, it's quality.

 

It has a 500W wariant too: EVGA 500 GD 80+ gold
