Without overclocking, your system will max out somewhere around 400 watts. You'll be fine with the PSU you have for now. Upgrading to a newer, higher quality model would be a good way to protect your high-end parts, but it's not like you need to rush out and get it immediately. Your Seasonic 620W is an older design but has enough power and it has the required PCIe power connectors for the RTX 2070 Super. When you're ready to upgrade, here's a few great models to consider-
650 Watt PSU's
