So currently I’m running a 5800x and a regular 2060. I’ve got a 650w gold PSU that’s about 4 years old, no problems with it at all. I’m thinking about upgrading to a RX 7800 XT because GeForce prices are perpetually absurd. It seems like it would be enough power, but the few things I’ve read say that I need at least a 750w if I go with the AMD (because they’re power hungry?), but 650w would be fine for a 4070ti. If I have to buy a new PSU, I feel like it would wipe out any savings I might get by buying AMD over Nvidia. How can I definitively know if I need more power?
Full disclosure, I understand the concept of undervolting, but I’m not nearly confident enough to mess with the settings.

Put your build in then change the components to the new ones
Thanks for that, that’s helpful!

If I add a 20% buffer and count all the fans, I’m really close to 650. Also thinking about adding another SATA SSD also.
