Hi, i'm looking to upgrade my pc but I want to ask about some stuf.

My current specs 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - Processor
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB - F4-3200C16D-16GVKB 
SSD: GigaByte SSD512GB - Solid state drive m.2
          Kingston A400 SSD 480GB
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti WINDFORCE OC 6G
PSU: Corsair TX-M Series TX550M V2 
COOLER:  Be quiet! Pure Rock
MOTHERBOARD: Asus TUF B450-PLUS GAMING
 
These are the things I want to replace 
CPU to the ryzen 5 5600x
GPU to the nvidia 3060 
 
But i"m wondering if I also need to upgrade my PSU or not and if the motherboard is still okay to use.
And does upgrading the ram to 32 gb add anything in gaming no right?
 
Thanks alot!

I would get a 6700 xt instead of a 3060 and a 5600 non x as it has the same performance as the 5600x
