I'm currently using a 650W PSU and looking to upgrade my graphics card. I have a 6750 XT and a Ryzen 5 5600X. If I switch to a 9070 XT, will I need to upgrade my power supply to 750W? I appreciate any insights!

You can technically run a 9070 XT with a 650W PSU, but it's generally recommended to upgrade to at least an 850W for better efficiency and safety. PSUs tend to work best when they're running at around 40-60% of their capacity, so a higher wattage would give you more headroom.
I actually ran my 6800 XT on a 600W PSU for a while and it was fine—sometimes it's about how you manage your power settings!
