I recently picked up an A650GL power supply, but I'm starting to doubt if it's powerful enough for my setup, which includes a 9070 GPU and a 7600X CPU. I'm open to suggestions for a better PSU if there's one in a similar price range.

The A650GL should work just fine for your setup! The 9070 is efficient at around 220W, and the 7600X uses about 105W. If we estimate a total consumption of around 450W under full load, that leaves around 200W for any spikes from the GPU. It’s a decent unit, especially considering it's rated as a B-tier PSU. If you want to be extra cautious, looking for something more might be worthwhile. Let us know your budget and we can suggest alternatives.
Don’t stress about it too much, your A650GL should be up to the task. I’ve got the 750W version and it's performed really well. If you want something potentially better in the same price range, consider the 1stPlayer NGDP 850W, but just keep in mind it’s from a smaller brand, so it might be a bit of a gamble.
