I am planning on upgrading both my cpu and gpu, do I have to change my PSU?

So I currently run this build:
i5-6600 w/ H70
GTX 960 2gb
Z270 MSI
2x8 GB 1800 MHz RAM
Kingston 250 GB SSD
7.2 K RPM HDD
2 case coolers
Random optical drive
600 Watt PSU

I‘m planning on going to:
Ryzen 2600 w/ H70
Radeon RX Vega 64
X470
Same RAM
Same Storage
Same cooling
Same optical drive


Do I need to upgrade PSU?
If so, which should I get?


 
Solution
to avoid issues, I would suggest getting 750w for vega 64. I have heard stories where people are tripping over current protections upon initialization of the card because the PSU OCT was too sensitive. AMD is known to have less monitoring in power delivery, easier to tweak the power but tends to have huge current spikes from time to time
