I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card to an XFX RX 9060 XT with 16GB, and I'm curious if my current power supply unit, the Super Flower LEGION GX PRO 550W, can support this upgrade. My system specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X running at 3.8GHz, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and currently, I have a Galax NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with 8GB. Will my PSU manage this change?

If you're only after a slight performance bump, you might want to stick with what you have for now, unless you have other reasons for upgrading.
That's reassuring! Just to double-check, is the performance boost worth making the jump to the 9060 XT?
The 3060 Ti draws more power than the 9060 XT, so if you've been running the 3060 Ti without issues, your 550W PSU should handle the 9060 XT just fine. Keep in mind, though, you might see around a 25% performance improvement with this upgrade.
