Here is a handy chart for sizing a psu.

For a 2060. it may be 500w, but stronger is better.
650w/750w would allow a future gpu upgrade and a bump in size does not often cost much more.
A psu will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of the max capability.

But, do not buy a cheap psu. It can be expensive if it should fail.
Look for a unit with a 7 to 10 year warranty.

I might add that 8gb is likely too small, and a single stick will run in slower single channel mode.
