Seasonic S12II-520 and RTX 2070 Super

Good evening.

I have a doubt about my power supply.

My system is the follow :

CPU: Ryzen 2700x ( PBO OFF ) Stock settings
WC: Artic Freezer Liquid 240
RAM : 2x8 G.SKILL 2400 Mhz with 2800 OC
PSU : Seasonic S12II-520
GPU : MSI AERO 1050 TI
FANS : 3x 120M
SSD : Samsung 860 evo 250 GB
HDD: Toshiba 1tb 7.2K

I will upgrade from a 1050 ti to a zotac mini 2070 super.

Will my seasonic handle the 2070 super or i will need to at least buy a 600w psu?

Basically what @Zando Bob said. The wattage is plenty but you should be looking to upgrade to a better unit asap.

No, the wattage is fine. You need to get a different model of PSU. 
 

What is your budget for the PSU?
