I'm looking to upgrade my setup and need some advice on which 9070XT model to choose. I've noticed prices range from $650 to $720 where I am. Additionally, should I go for an 850W power supply or would it be better to stick with a 1000W for safety? Here's a link to my current build for reference: [Link to build]. I have a Ryzen 5600 and 32GB of 3200MHz RAM, so I want to ensure compatibility for future upgrades.

I think an 850W power supply should be plenty for your setup. As for the GPU, the Sapphire Nitro 9070XT is a strong choice in my opinion, although some users have mentioned concerns about the 12VHPWR connector potentially overheating if not connected properly. The XFX Merc version is also a solid option, maybe even a little better overall.
Yeah, 850W sounds reasonable to me too. I’ll definitely check out both GPU options. Thanks for the tips!
