    Hi everyone,

    I am going to buy a RTX3070. I currently have a Be Quiet!Pure Power 11 600W CM 80PLUS Gold and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600.

    I am not sure if my current PSU would be enough, so I am planing to buy a 750W PSU.

    My budget would be somewhere around 150€ - 170€, can someone recommend me a good one for that price?

    Thanks

    600w is more than enough, it's only a 220w card. Maybe a factory overclocked 1 might use a bit more.

    The rest of the system maybe uses 100-120w at the most. Your PSU is gold rated. It's fine.

    Thanks for your answer. The internet is full of people saying to go to 750W and that NVidia recommends at least 650W.

    Cheers

    Nvidia are only covering themselves. Some PSU's are garbage and cant' reach their rating.

    Some cpu's eat power, some of intels use 200w+ overclocked. The 3600 uses very little though.

    Ryzen 3600 uses under 100W maxed-out.

    Hey everyone,

    I managed to get a 3070 or so I thought until they told me that the stock wasn't updating properly and I will have to wait a few weeks. So I cancelled the order.

    Now I will be looking at an AMD RX 6800XT or a 3080 if I manage to get one. Will my PSU still be ok for either card?

    Thanks

    Think a 3080 might be pushing it.
