Hey everyone, I'm building a new rig and need some advice about my power supply unit. I'm running a compact SFF Ghost S1 Mk3 case that fits perfect for travel, but I'm not sure if my Corsair SF750 PSU is enough for the components I'm planning to use. I had intended to get an RTX 5070 but miscalculated the GPU height, so I'm temporarily using an RTX 3060 from a friend. Right now, I'm considering the RX 9070, 9070 XT, or 5070 Ti, with a lean towards the 9070 XT since it's fairly priced at 659 euros. However, I've read that some suggest using an 850W or even 1000W PSU. I don't plan on overclocking and might limit or undervolt the GPU if necessary. Should I stick with the SF750 or consider upgrading?

750W is usually the recommended wattage for most mid-tier setups like the 9070 XT. You should be good with the Corsair SF750!
What do you think makes so many people choose an 850W or 1000W? Just wanting to be future-proof?
