Hey everyone! I'm thinking about upgrading some components in my PC, specifically adding an Intel i5 12600k processor, a GIGABYTE B760M motherboard, and an M.2 SSD. I currently have an old EVGA 600W PSU. Do you think I should change my power supply as well? (Apologies for any awkward phrasing—I'm not a native English speaker.)

You might want to consider upgrading your power supply, especially as you're getting new components. If your GPU is around a 3060 or similar and you're looking for an overall balance, a 750W or even 850W model would give you some extra headroom. It's generally a good idea to have a bit more wattage than you think you need, just for peace of mind.
I actually have a 3050 GPU and 16GB of RAM. Does that change anything?
