I have a GTX 1060 6GB, I7-4790, 120gb ssd, seagate barracuda 7.2K rpm 1TB, my mother board is the Asus Z 97P and a 500WATT Zalman power supply

 

I want to upgrade to an Asus phoenix 2060 but wondering if my power supply is good enough.

Should be fine. Recommended is 500W. Just don't get a super overclocked 2x8 pin version of the card.

Edit: Oh, you mentioned Asus Phoenix, should be fine!
