I recently installed a new 6600 XT GPU and connected it properly, but when I boot up my PC, I'm getting no display and hearing three beeps. I tried switching back to my old 1660 Ti GPU, and everything boots up without any issues. My setup includes a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and a 450W PSU. I checked online to see if my power supply would be sufficient for all my components. I'm looking for any ideas on what might be going wrong with the new GPU.

Your issue could be because the 6600 XT actually requires a minimum of 500W power supply. Your 1660 Ti works with 450W, but the 6600 XT needs more juice. If you're thinking about long-term use, a drive up to 650W would be a smart move to ensure stability and performance down the road.
Have you looked into what the three beeps could mean? Since the PC runs fine with your old GPU, it's likely not the motherboard or RAM. Beep codes can really help narrow down issues based on your motherboard model, which is the A320M-K. If it helps, I’ve seen that weak power supplies can still let the PC start but fail when under load, though you should have enough wattage for this build.
Yeah, I checked; the beeps could indicate BIOS, motherboard, RAM, or GPU issues. Since my old GPU works, the motherboard and RAM should be fine. I also realized I haven’t installed the drivers for the 6600 XT yet.
Would 650W be sufficient for my setup?
