Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to upgrade my graphics card from the EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO Ultra (which uses about 160W) to the MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Shadow 2X OC Plus 16GB (which uses around 180W). The manufacturer says I should have at least a 600W PSU. Right now, I've got a Gigabyte 650W 80 Plus Bronze power supply, and I haven't had any problems with my current setup. Just to give you an idea of my build, I have an Intel Core i9 10850K, an Asus TUF Gaming Z590 Plus Wi-Fi motherboard, 32GB of RAM, and a couple of M.2 SSDs. I'm not looking to add anything else, so I don't need a ton of headroom, but I want to make sure I'm not pushing it too close to the limit. Do you think my PSU is good to go for this upgrade? Thanks in advance!

That 650W PSU should be more than enough for your new GPU.
650W should be fine as long as you have the correct PCIe connectors for the 5060 Ti.
I feel like performance might be lower than expected. The 5060 Ti struggles in older systems.
650W should be okay, just ensure you have the right connectors.
