I'm getting ready to upgrade my GPU and I'm looking for some advice on my current setup. Here are my specs:
- CPU: Intel i5-12600K
- RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF B660M-Plus WiFi D4
- Cooling: MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R V2 (AIO)
- Current PSU: Corsair CV650 (planning to upgrade soon)
I'm thinking of upgrading to at least a 750W (80+ Gold) power supply before I install a new GPU. My GPU options include:
- RTX 4060 (8GB)
- RTX 3060 (12GB)
- RTX 3060 Ti (8GB)
- RX 6700 XT (12GB)
Could you help me with two questions?
1. Which GPU would provide the best performance with my i5-12600K while minimizing bottlenecks and ensuring value in 2025?
2. Is a 750W Gold PSU excessive for these cards, or is it a wise choice for future-proofing and reliable power?
Thanks for any insights!

For your price range, the RX 6700 XT is probably the best option if they're around the same price. Also, a 750W PSU isn't overkill—it’s actually a solid choice, especially given that future GPUs might require more power. Always go for a reputable brand too; a quality PSU is essential!
Thanks for the advice!
