I'm putting together my first PC in a while, and while ordering parts, PC Part Picker suggested a power requirement of 488W. I decided to play it safe and got a 750W power supply. However, the 9070XT GPU I received states that it needs at least 800W. Is my 750W PSU going to be sufficient, or should I send it back for an 800W one?

As long as you're not planning to overclock, you should have no issues with power. Just keep an eye on things, and you’ll be good!
PC Part Picker gives you a solid estimate based on all your components, while the box is a bit conservative. In reality, you’ll run your GPU fine with a 750W PSU in your current configuration.
I personally use a 650W PSU and never had a problem. So I'm pretty confident that 750W is plenty for you.
You'll be just fine with a 750W PSU! The recommendations on power supplies tend to err on the side of caution, assuming the worst-case setups. Since your setup isn’t super demanding, 750W should handle it without a hiccup.
Thanks for the support, guys! This info really helps ease my mind as I dive back into building after a long break.
