I'm planning on upgrading to a 1660 Super (https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Graphics-Windforce-Gv-N1660OC-6GD/dp/B07P76G428/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=GIGABYTE%2BGeForce%2BGTX%2B1660%2BSUPER%2B6GB%2BGDDR6%2BPCI%2BExpress%2B3.0%2Bx16%2BATX%2BVideo%2BCard%2BGV-N166SGAMING%2BOC-6GD&qid=1629611888&s=electronics&sr=1-1&th=1) But I'm a bit worried about power consumption I have a 500W Gold rated PSU, is this enough?

Would need a list of your full, current build to determine that.

 

Also, you can get a GTX 1660 for cheaper.

i was running my 1660 ti on a 450w proprietary psu that came with a very old thermaltake psu, on top of that, that psu was used for around 4 years so it was probably dying and it still worked fine with my 1660 ti, guess i just got lucky

500w is enough for a 1660 super, but the efficiency rating tells us nothing about how good the PSU is.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

it is more than enough, even 20 series cards can run on 500w (non TI series)
