Minimum 600W (recommended 700W) PSU - is recommended.

but since you're running a relatively low power CPU, you should be ok. If you ever run something like a 9700K you should upgrade the PSU to be on the safe side.

It's the AMD recommended I have a 550 W with rx 5700 also and a ryzen 5-3600 it works Very good also with overclock

it's depending on ur Usage not others

I recommend that you get the RTX 2060 because it will use less power so it will easily work on a 550-watt power supply. Also, it is about the same price and has the same performance. However, the RX 5700 will probably work on a 550-watt power supply but you can't really overclock it. Therefore, I would personally feel more comfortable getting a 2060 instead of the RX 5700 in your circumstances. Especially, if you have a lot of RGB fans.
