No, you can keep it. It's a good PSU and power is more than enough for most Mono-GPU builds. Perfectly fine for a 3700X & 2070S, no idea about 3070S because it's unreleased, anyway you can check this nice post for reference and I guess it will be updated if new GPUs are released.

Im looking to upgrade some of my pc parts, im thinkiing of switching out my ryzen 1600x for a 3700x and my 1660ti for a 2070 super or 3070/super (depending on what they're like and price and stuff, but I dont think it will affect the answer much), I currently have a 550w psu, do you think I should upgrade to a 650w or even a 750w for futureproofing?

 

Thanks

What specific PSU do you currently have?

 

 

A good quality 550w psu will handle the upgrades fine.

Actually it isn't that good a PSU, as referenced by this:

 

If you can, swap it for a RMx or a Straight Power.

It has issues with its protections, and it's loud, but it performs well. It's fine.
