Also at christmas i'm planning on putting a rtx 2070 super into my system, would there be any sort of bottleneck and if not would it run fine?

I would not try overclocking with this PSU, you're already using one that's inappropriate for a build like this. Kolink has some decent PSUs at the top-end of their product list, but this is a group-regulated hec PSU that can't even handle 400W of +12V power. An adequate power supply for someone with an office build or a GPU like a 1050 Ti, but really shouldn't be used at all in this scenario.

what power supply would go well with my build (im adding rtx 2070 super into it at christmas)

It's called a silicon lottery for a reason. Anything above mfg. stated ratings is in no way guaranteed. I feel lucky if I get all cores to 3.8 @ stock voltage

You have lots of options:

650 Watts:

This would be a good option: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WVWXPVZ?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

ryzen processors are binned.
The better chips will be used in the x suffix versions or in higher clock rate versions.
You could get lucky, but perhaps not.

 

[DSzymborski]

TJ's recommendation is excellent.

 

[digitalgriffin]

TJ's recommendation is excellent.

I'll second that. The TX-M series is a good trade off between quality/options/cost.

Plus no overclock is guarantied. Just because someone else can do it doesn't mean your hardware can do it.

My friend reccomended me this PSU, would this one be any good?

No, the BR's are relatively low quality. Better than your current, but worse than you should be pairing with a high-end GPU.

 

[xnath03]

alright, thanks for the suggestion, would it be better if I got the one that TJ suggested but in the 750w version, so then in the future if I want I have plenty more power for upgrades to CPU ect.

You could, though it's not really necessary unless there's a chance you go really high-end with the parts and overclock aggressively. 650W is usually more than enough for typical 100ish W CPU, single GPU builds.
