I'm not sure what wattage psu I should get for my pc.

Specs:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600
GPU - XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS
MOBO - MSI MPG X570
SSD - Samsung 970 Evo 500gb
RAM - Crossair Vengence LPX (2x16gb)

Probably will be running up to 12 hours at most

There's no 'included' PSU with that case and, even if there were, an "included" PSU is usually pretty poor quality.

For your setup, a quality 550W would be more than capable.
Currently, for the money, I'd recommend a CX550 from Corsair.

You could get by with a CX450 and save a little bit of money, but the additional ~$10 between them would be worth it for the CX550 IMO.

They list a "Built-in PSU Cover" in their specs. That's a shroud to cover the PSU that you purchase, not a reference to it having a PSU. And as Barty notes, in most cases, included PSUs are garbage unless you're talking very high end. In this case -- pun intended -- the price of the case wouldn't even cover the price of a quality PSU and they're not making that case for free.
