Hello guys! this is gonna be my first pc build, im kind of an amateur will appreciate any advice!

Im thinking on choosing this PSU since i see its very budget / quality and brand for the price algo has 600w

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/product/B074ZKXM72/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Also is 550w or 600w would be enough for my system???


Is this a good psu for my build? should i pick this one or there are better at this price??

Solution
A 2060 will generally do fine in a system with a 500w psu.
Here is a handy chart for other graphics options:

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

But, not all 500w power supplies are good.
Some may not deliver advertised power, and not on 12v where modern pars need them.
Coolermaster quality is iffy.
I do not know where your selected psu stands on a tier chart like this...

As above, a seasonic focus 550w would be a better unit.
