Posted December 26, 2018 I recently received a Gigabyte AORUS XTREME RTX 2070 as a pretty big upgrade to my existing Radeon RX 570. My question is do I need to upgrade my PSU to support it? If I do, what should I get? I'm currently running a pretty budget friendly EVGA 500w bronze unit paired with a moderately overclocked ryzen 5 1600 and a bunch of RGB components. Thank you!

This was a good idea! I rebuilt my whole system on the website and it confirmed everything was compatible. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably should stop the OC and might want to look at better quality PSU. Wattage isn't the issue...
