The R3 3100 might cause a bottleneck in a 2060 Super. The 450 PSU 80+ Bronze should work without replacement.

It's often wise to invest a bit more in a reliable power supply unit. If it fails, other parts might also malfunction. However, staying within a budget means bronze certification is perfectly fine.

You're missing the bigger picture, which already limits what I can say. The "80% power usage while gaming" number seems questionable—there are many low-quality PSUs with similar ratings. Efficiency isn't the only factor; you shouldn't rely solely on that metric to assess quality.
