Is this PC Good Enough or should I upgrade something?

[MozM]

Im getting a ( 3070, 16GB Ram 3200Mhz, I7 10700F ,  650W 80 Plus Gold ) is this really good enough or should I get a 750W instead of a 650.

NOTE: I blew all of my money from saving for 4 months lol.. so I can't really upgrade for at least 29 days now.. Should I wait and get more money to upgrade something or is this already good enough?.

650W is enough (though probably pretty tight if you're overclocking); you probably don't need to upgrade to 750W

Buying a 3070 is not a good investment for now, unless you have no problem buying it at 50% more.

Bitcoin is on a downward trend, wait till it hit the bottom we should see the stock normalize.

I doubt it,with the power spikes of Ampere it can be a problem.

I've heard the 3070 only gets up to around ~220W, which combined with a 200W CPU should be fine (but pretty tight). Does it go above that?

The problems with averages is that they are lower than the spikes,and Ampere spikes hard.

I've been running my 3070 with a Bequiet *500w* psu just fine for over a month, albeit I put power limit to 90 and core '-25' because I honestly wasn't sure it's enough either, I even once forgot to apply the settings and played games for a few hours... not a single problem, no crashes, nothing...

Now I got a 650w corsair because I wanted to overclock the card - in hindsight that wasn't even necessary, even with an OC it barely goes above 450w and I even under volted the card now and get *better* performance with even less power usage... tldr, *if* this is a good psu 650w should be more than fine. 

 

(no idea what settings this is but probably around stock, not my undervolt) 

 

may want to check the power draw of the gpu alone, 268w, my 'record' is about 272w... the thing is the rest of the pc really doesn't use much power at all - so with another cpu you may add 100w or so, should still be fine, just saying. 

 

(total Power draw after playing Warzone 1440p max settings, no ray tracing though, not even 400w!)

that does look like a 3090 however.

It depends on the quality of the unit as well,so it may very from one model to another.
