I'm currently running an Intel Core i5-9400F CPU with an RTX 4060 OC Edition graphics card, 16GB of RAM, two 1TB SATA drives, and one SSD. I'm using a 550W PSU and I'm wondering if I should upgrade to a 750W PSU. I'm experiencing some input lag while playing CS, and I'm not sure if my power supply is the issue or if it's something else.

You likely don’t need to upgrade. What do you mean by input lag in CS? Are you experiencing lag spikes or just general delays? Sometimes, overclocking your CPU and GPU can cause instability, which might be the root of the problem.
A 550W PSU should actually be fine for your setup with the RTX 4060 and an i5-9400F. Just to clarify, do you have three SSDs? If you recently installed the new RTX 4060, have you uninstalled the old GPU drivers using DDU? A clean install of Windows might help with input lag issues too. As for upgrading to a 750W PSU, it might be considered overkill unless you plan to add more components in the future.
