Asked By ChillPanda77 On

I'm currently running an i5 11400F with an RTX 4060TI, 32GB of RAM, two SATA SSDs, and one NVMe SSD, all powered by a 500W PSU. I'm considering upgrading my CPU to either the Ryzen 5700X3D or an i5 from the 13th or 14th generation, but I'm unsure if my current power supply will handle the upgrade. Is 500W sufficient for this setup? Any advice would be appreciated!

You might want to check out the Ryzen 5 7600 or 9600X since they generally use less power than your current i5 11400F. If you're worried about wattage, these could be solid options for an upgrade without stressing your PSU too much.

That makes sense, but I gotta say, AM5 can get a little pricey here!
