I'm considering building a new PC and I've been recommended the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB as my GPU. Along with that, I was suggested the Gigabyte UD750GM PG5 V2, which is a 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX power supply. I'm trying to verify if these components are compatible with each other since I couldn't find clear information online. Any advice would be appreciated!

First off, check the power connector type your GPU needs. Typically, modern GPUs need one or more PCIe power connectors from the PSU. Since your chosen PSU is a 750W model, it should generally be fine. The RX 9070 XT needs at least 750W, including power for the rest of your components. So, as long as the PSU has the right connectors, you should be good!
Thanks for the tip! I don't have the parts yet, but I see the GPU specs mention PCIe 5.0 for connectivity. The power supply details are a bit vague, though. What else should I look out for?
