Hi, I'm planning to upgrade my GTX 1650 Super to a RTX 3060 12 GB. I'm currently using a MSI MAG A550BN 550W 80+ Bronze as my PSU.
I wonder if it's enough to power an RTX 3060. Here are the other system components,

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-10400F @ 2.90GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz (16GB x 1)
MoBo: MSI B560M PRO-E
Storage:
Kingston NV1 NVMe PCIe SSD M.2 2280 250GB
Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD

How old is the PSU? The unit is Tier-C. I would pair a higher quality PSU and one that has 650W at the entire system's disposal.
