Hello, i'm new to this and I would like to clear some of the concerns that I have.

I own:
2x rtx a2000 (TDP 70w x2)
1x rtx 3060 (TDP 170w) though it only draws around 140w when mining.
1x 600w SilentiumPC Vero Bronze 80

Accordingly to nicehash's tutorial I would need a2000's (140W) + 3060 (170w) + CPU & motherboard (100W) = 410W * 1.25 = ~512W

However I have seen various unclear posts about PSU's and I would like to clarify this (dont want to burn anything lol).

Thanks in advance.

Edit - just in case here is the rest of my setup:
Intel i5 10400f
b460m ds3h v2
16gb ram

A high quality PSU at 600w would easily power that system 24/7 while mining ETH or even Kawpow based algorithms. Your CPU/motherboard/ram/drives etc probably eats 25-60w during the mining so not much.

I am not sure if your PSU is high quality though since I am not familiar with that brand/model, if it's a low quality unit I would say you're cutting it close and would invest in a high quality unit; you don't want the PSU blowing up and taking out your graphic cards.
