I'm upgrading my PC with an i5-12600KF processor and an ASUS B760M-AYW WiFi D4 II motherboard. Right now, I have an Intel i7-6700, a 3050 6GB graphics card, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I currently use a 500W bronze power supply, but I'm unsure if it's enough for these new components. Also, what GPU would work well with this setup?

It's important to know the exact model of your power supply and how old it is, as that can affect its reliability and capacity. Since you mentioned you bought it two years ago and can't find a name on it, it might be worth looking into a new one, especially if you're planning to upgrade your GPU. A 500W power supply is often on the lower side for upgraded systems, especially with more power-hungry components.
Got it! I guess I should consider a stronger PSU then.
