I'm considering upgrading my GPU to a 9070XT, but I'm uncertain if my current 600W PSU will handle it. PCPartPicker suggests a total power draw of 535W with the 9070XT, which makes me a bit nervous. Do you think I need to upgrade to a 750W PSU? Thanks for any advice!

For that setup, a 750W PSU is really recommended, especially for future-proofing. It's better to have a bit more overhead for your components to run reliably.
You can rely on those numbers, especially if you have a good quality 600W PSU. It could work, but it might be cutting it close. Just keep in mind that running at max capacity isn't ideal for system longevity.
It's a Bronze 80+; I remember reading that it's a good choice, but still, it feels a bit risky to skimp on power.
Yeah, they have the be quiet PSU listed, and while it’s decent quality, I think pushing it like that isn’t the best idea.
