Current Specs:
Ryzen 7 2700x
Asus Prime x470-Pro
GTX 1660 Super Overclocked 6GB

So I need a psu and was wondering if a 550w would be enough to power this. Also, what psu would you recommend with a budget of $60-$100?

Thanks, follow up question. Would a 550w be the most power efficient for what I have, or would it be more efficient to get a higher wattage?

Generally speaking, the difference in efficiency will be pennies a year unless you're running a server farm. You can get a 650W, but the good ones will put you over $100 generally; the tariff environment had an effect on the prices of the quality PSUs.
