Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 
Currently in my PC/Setup:

AMD Ryzen 5 1400
RX560 (Lenovo Prebuilt)
16 GB Corsair vengeance LPX Ram
MX500 SSD

1TB HDD Segate

Want to upgrade to:

ASUS RTX 3060 TI TUF
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

First the GPU, getting it in 7 Days
Would i need to instantly get a better Powersupply?
My current one is 450 Watt, is it possible to use everything above except a RTX 3060 TI ASUS TUF instead of the RX560 for now
Or would i instantly need a bigger powersupply to run the R5 1400 and the RTX3060TI?

Might work, but I would get something better. Preferably 650w or above, but you should be able to get away with 550w. This could help with buying a new PSU.

 

Also not sure what motherboard is installed currently, but knowing how Lenovo is you probably can't upgrade go 5600X without upgrading the board. And if you have to upgrade the board you can get a 12400F and MSI B660M-A Pro for cheaper and that will perform similar while being on a more modern platform.
