I am planning on building a new PC for gaming and streaming (no overclocking):
Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
Kingston Hyperx 2x8GB ddr4 3200mhz
Seasonic Core GM 650 (already own)
AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb (when prices go down, 2060 or 3060)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 / Scythe Fuma 2
1x SanDisk Z400S 256gb (already own)

Will the Seasonic Core GM 650 be enough to power the system for gaming and streaming?
 
Solution
And if I add a 3060? Everything goood still with gaming and streaming?
Yes. The 3060 needs <200w, the 5800x with PBO is 120w and then 50-70w for the rest of the system. The system is unlikely to go over 400w under load making a 550w a comfortable choice. I’m running a 3080 and 3700x on a high quality 650w.
