My question is basically in the title. Just looking at what the minimum wattage would be needed in order to run a 3070 and a ryzen 9 3900x. Any PSU suggestions would be welcomed.

Thank you all for your help.

A 750W unit from the PSU Tier List of Tier B (the bare minimum) or higher would be sufficient. 

A Corsair RM750x is a really good unit to pick for that combination. 

CPU Cooler Tier List  || Motherboard VRMs Tier List || Motherboard Beep & POST Codes || Graphics Card Tier List || PSU Tier List 

 

Main System Specifications:

Would a 750 w PSU be the minimum amount of watts for a setup like that?

At the least, but I'd go 850W but some others may chime in and attack me for saying 850W.

I agree with this Spider Man.  850w would be nice if the price difference over the 750w wasn't too much.  I saw the Enermax DF 850w on Newegg for $127.  That's a pretty good price for an 850w Tier A unit.  I grabbed one myself a week or so ago based on some good recommendations.
