I'm building a multifunction setup with an AMD 9900x processor, an MSI X870E motherboard, and an RX 9070XT graphics card. I've read that the RX 9070XT can draw close to 500 watts, so I'm considering a 750-watt power supply. Do you think that's enough for both the CPU and GPU, or should I be looking at something different? Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks!

It’s a good idea to plug your components into a site like PCPartPicker to estimate your minimum power usage. Aim for a PSU that offers some overhead for future upgrades and stays within your budget.
The MSI MPG A1000GS is a great option, currently priced at $109 on Newegg. It's gold-rated and has positive reviews for performance. It's worth checking out if you're looking for reliability without breaking the bank!
Just to clarify, I've seen the RX 9070XT consuming around 300 watts normally, with some spikes under heavy loads. A solid ATX 3 power supply should handle those short spikes without any issue.
Plus, it comes with a $10 Steam gift card deal right now, which makes it even better!
