The Corsair CX series or some of the low-end EVGA power supplies are the ones to go with for a budget build.  You should be good to go with ~450W

12600k | MSI MEG S280 | SSUPD Meshilicious | Asus ROG STRIX Z690-I | Crucial 16GB 4800MHz CL38 | MSI Gaming 980Ti | CM V850 SFX | WD SN850 1TB, WD SN550 1TB 
Pi 4TB NAS | Asus VG27AQ, Asus PB278Q | Logitech G Pro X Superlight | Glorious G-HXL-STEALTH | Keychron K4 V2 | Sennheiser HD 599 w/ Fiio E10

Corsair's CX series will be fine for your system.

Any Branded One will do.

Don't get a power supply from a Brand you don't know (or doesn't have a brand).

Be careful with corsair. With your system I wouldn't worry too much, but just to be safe go with EVGA B2

Intel Core i7 9700k - EVGA FTW GTX 970
