I'm planning to upgrade my PC, and I found a Palit Gamerock RTX 3090 Ti for about R3000 (roughly $171.93). However, the seller can't test it because they don't have a PC anymore. I want to know if my current setup can at least display output from this card just to check if it's working. Here's my current build: AMD Ryzen 4500, MSI B450 Max Pro II, T-Force Delta DDR4 (16GB total), MSI Mag A550BN, and a Palit GeForce GTX 1660 Super. My main concern is whether my PSU can handle it just for display purposes, even though it's a pretty dumb question. Thanks for the help!

Your PSU might be a limiting factor since it seems it only has 2 PCIe power connectors. The RTX 3090 Ti requires 3 x 8-pin connectors, so it likely won't display properly without enough power. It's a good idea to check that first!
I found that the 3090 Ti needs a 16-pin connector, but my PSU has 6+2 pins. Do you think I could at least get a display to see if it works without stressing it?
