Upgrade from 1050Ti to RTX2060 doable with Ryzen 5 3600?

Aleks NE

Budget (including currency): £350ish

Country: United Kingdom 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Euro Truck Simulator 2, Farming Sim, Forza, CSGO, Warzone, Ark Survival, PUBG, SpinTires & Snow runner @  1080p & 1440p

 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): 

This is the current build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/37CFDq 

I'd like to upgrade the now kinda dated 1050Ti, but I've been out of the loop with new hardware. What would be a good GPU to pair with the Ryzen 5 3600? I also only have a 450W PSU, a RTX2060(£285 on amazon) takes me up to 319W according to PCPartsPicker, A RTX3060(£379 on amazon) to 329W. Or maybe an AMD card? Any recommendation would be great?

yeah its doable but there are probably better cards nowadays. 

 

A 3060 would be obviously much better,  but then the psu might be an issue.  whats the model/brand of the psu?

 

cpu would be still ok.

also btw, not how it works,  3000 series cards have high transient power spikes, and that means you need a psu that can handle that, hence exact model is needed
