Is 750w enough?

I currently have an X570-Plus MOBO, Ryzen 3700X, 32gb 3600 RAM, Wrath Prism CPU Fan (I'm waiting on the arrival of my Scythe Fuma 2), and a 1660 Super SC Ultra Gaming GPU with a 750W 80+ Gold PSU. I want to update my GPU to a 2070 Super. Will my 750W be enough? Amazon says you need 600W for the card but PCpartpicker says you only need 493 for my entire build... I am an extreme novice so forgive me if this is a dumb question but I don't want to strain the system as I'd like it to last. I don't game often and when I do, it's usually retro gaming or console gaming. I'd like to change that and make the switch to PC gaming. I also record music. I don't know if any of that is relevant to wattage or not but figured I'd include it. Thank you!

More than enough. What power supply is that?

 

You could have a 550w unit and still be 'fine'

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
