I have this build:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II
Two 8GB Corsair DDR4-2132 RAM sticks (1066 MHz)
GPU EVGA 2060
Blue and black digital WD HDD
One 1 TB SSD
DeepCool GameStormCaptain 240mm AI Cooling
Dunkase Deepcool case
Power supply: Thermaltake Paris 650
Monitor 1: LG Full HD Monitor | ML600S series 24" monitor | Full HD, IPS, FreeSync 75Hz, built-in speakers
Monitor 2: Philips 246 ELH FHD
I'm thinking about these adjustments:
RAM: 3600 cl, 16, 16 or 32 GB
GPU: Gainward 4070 Super
(the 7900 series is still fine)
Houses with argb.
Would your current PSU be enough, or should you get a new one?

Is this Tt Paris version part of the Lite or Smart series? I'm not certain, as I wouldn't be using the 4070s on it. If so, please confirm with others and consider alternatives like Corsair Rm650x. A 650w setup should fit your current processor; if you plan to upgrade to something faster such as 5800X3D or newer, then an 850w option would be suitable.

The PSU is quite old. I recommend a solid 700W upgrade that will serve you well for a while and even accommodate future enhancements. Could you share the picture on imgur.com, since I can't view it directly?

It could have been a decent product back then, but it's quite old—likely over ten years, well beyond its warranty. That’s sufficient to warrant a replacement. Nowadays, a five-year warranty doesn’t guarantee reliability. Every manufacturer produces both strong and weak units; a 10-year warranty is usually a sign of quality. Corsair Rmx offers a 10-year warranty.

It could work for a lighter build, though no power supply I’d consider would fit a service duration longer than more than twice the warranty length when paired with a GPU I recently bought for $600 to $700.

I would also switch to a different PSU. If you're receiving a 4070, it may not last through the socket upgrade (CPU + MOBO).
