I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card from a 4060 to a 5070ti, and I'm also planning to switch from a 12400F to a 14600K processor. Currently, I have a 750W PSU. Will this be sufficient for my new setup, or do I need to get a higher wattage power supply?

I had a 5070ti running on a 750W PSU for a bit, but make sure you get the right model with specific PCIe cable requirements if you're using only two cables. Some setups need more power to run smoothly.
I recommend going for an 850W PSU just to be safe. It's better to have a little extra power than to run the risk of overloading your current one.
Your PSU is probably fine considering its wattage, and assuming it's not super old. Just ensure it has the adequate PCIe connections you need, which should be there if it’s not too dated.
Your 750W PSU should be enough power-wise, but keep an eye on the connectors. If your PSU is relatively new, it likely has the necessary PCIe connections for the 12v-2x6 power connector used by the 5070ti. Just double-check the card comes with an adapter too.
