Not long ago I bought a 2060 windforce tri and i5 9600kf with corsair RM550x psu.
Sooo can I still use the RM550x with a 3070? 3 fans btw, no oc on cpu

You will likely be fine as the 3070's specs envision a 220W power draw. Still double-check when a review of your 3070 is up just to make double-check a review that tests the power consumption before you install; I expect you'll be OK, but it's an important enough issue to go through the process of making sure.
