F5F Stay Refreshed Hardware Desktop What is the recommended PSU for 3060 in 2025?

So I'm using the standard setup:
CPU: Intel core i5 12400F
Mainboard: Asus TUF B760
Ram: 32Gb DDR4
VGA: Zotac Gaming1660 super
Storage: 1 HDD 1Tb 7200 rpm, 2 SSD Sata 240 and 1 Nvme 120
CPU Cooling: Centaur H500 240mm
Fan: 5 x 12mm
Right now I have a 550w PSU (FSP 550W 80 Bronze EU - FSP550-51AAC), but I plan to upgrade to the 3060 12Gb (probably MSI Ventus). Will my current PSU support that? It's a bit tight on budget, as I can only afford one of two upgrades – the PSU or the VGA. Need some help!

oh wait, let me adjust that. It's the "FSP550-51AAC". I'm in Vietnam and the budget is about 150 dollars. I'm going to trade my old GPU for the second 3060 Ventus.

the duration you owned the psu is unclear, but there are other writings and colors present.

it has been nearly four years since the PSU was last seen.
