Hey everyone, I'm looking to swap out my I7-11700KF, which has a TDP of 125, for a 9800X3D that has a TDP of 120. Currently, I'm using a 700W AIGO EP700 PSU, and it's been powering my 5070TI without any issues. Considering this change, do you think I'll need a new PSU? I'd appreciate some experienced opinions on this!

Honestly, I wouldn't trust that PSU with anything serious, let alone powering a 9800X3D and a 5070TI long-term. It's better to go for something reliable like a Super Flower Leadex 850W or a Corsair RM 850W. Just don't risk it!
Your ass would be shocked even with a Corsair 1000W Platinum!
Wait, if my PSU is 80 Plus Gold certified, does that mean it's soft enough to wipe with?
