So i currently have a 500Watt psu Gladias VenomRX and its starting to do very poorly

GTX 1660ti MSI Ventus OC 6GB
AMD R5 2600x
16GB DDR4 RAM 3200MHz 2x8
Windows 10 64-bit
500 Watt PSU
SSD 240GB
1TB HDD
ASROCK B450M Steel Legend

And im planning to upgrade to an RTX 2070 or 2060 Super but i dont know what PSU is good.
So i need your help on choosing a PSU that could perform good for OC too
 
I have never heard of the 500Watt Gladias VenomRX.
No-name PSUs are generally very low quality. They may fail under load with a power hungry gpu and cpu.

I wouldnt trust your current 1660ti on this psu, let alone a 2060 or 2070. A PSU upgrade is definately needed.

What is your budget for a new psu? What country are you in? I would suggest a Seasonic focus gold 550 or 650w.

If you're planning to run one graphics card, then a 500 watts power supply is enough. But in case you'll be running two graphics cards, a 750 watts unit is what you need to get.
