Should I upgrade my PSU?

[greatgreenman]

My PSU is 650w. Currently using R7 5700x, RX 7900GRE, 2x16GB ddr4 and so far things are working fine. I also undervolted both CPU and GPU.

I'm going to upgrade my GPU to 5070ti soon. According to the newegg PSU calculator, the suggested wattage is 600-699w. Should I continue with what I have or should I upgrade to something else?

I suggest u get 850W psu better

Any reason why 850w instead of 750w? To future proof or power savings? My 650w has lasted me the past 10 yrs

No idea what model u looking at but 5070ti suggested wattage lowest i saw was 750W
850W just in case
Dun think the price difference between the 2 will be significant

750W? 850W? Just go straight to > 1Kw.

The price difference is not much. Better to have a bit of buffer in case of transient spike.

As far as I'm aware, the suggested wattage for my current GPU and 5070 ti is the same, but I will see how it goes. Any recommended PSU brands? The one I'm using now is superflower gold 650w

Superflower leadex or FSP hydro it pro.
