Need Help Choosing a Power Supply for My New Build

Asked By TechieTurtle99 On

Hey everyone! I just got my hands on a Gigabyte GAMING OC version of the AMD 9070xt to upgrade from my old 2060, and I'm super excited! Along with that, I'm using a Ryzen 9 5900X and my current power supply is an EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 with 650W. I've heard that I should aim for at least an 850W power supply for this setup, but I'm a bit unsure if I need to go higher. I haven't really kept up with PC parts since I built my rig back in 2018, so I'd love some recommendations on brands or specific models. Budget-wise, I'm looking to keep it affordable but still want something reliable. Thanks in advance!

Your current power supply should be fine for your setup! With the Ryzen 9 5900X and the 9070xt, you're likely using around 540-570W typically. If you're concerned about wattage, definitely consider checking out this PSU tier list for recommendations. Just keep an eye on your load, and you might not need an upgrade at all!
