530w low end raidmax power supply enough for rx 6800?

[gamagama69]

Hello, so if you haven't heard, rx 5700 and 57000 xt gpus are in demand for cryptoming, and often sell for upwards of $900, which can then be put into getting either an rx 6700 xt or 6800 if you're lucky.

I don't have my hands on a new card yet, but am selling, so I wanted to know if my current psu would be enough to hold me over for a few months without serious undervolting.

My cpu is an r5 1600, so it's not a massive drawer of power. 

Also, when I do get a new power supply, what wattage should I get? Do I need a 750w, or would a 650w be fine? 

 

edit: just looked at the pinned post, I likely would be using about 513w watts if an rx 6700 xt or rx 6800 has a similar power draw to a 2080 super. I also have a gt 730 in my system i use for it's vga out to a crt display, which probably adds another 20-40w

 

edit: just to be clear, this is an upgrade, I have a pc with the 1600 and raidmax psu already. I am planning on upgrading my rx 5700 to either an rx 6700xt or an rx 6800, whatever I can get my hands on for about $900

what is the exact model?

No. A low end one from Raidmax is a terrible idea.

It will hold the 6800 back in performance.

Raidmax Thunder rgb 535w = NO, don't, I would not trust it. Just my opinion.

I know some people have had ok times with Raidmax power supplies but most of them are C and D tier so I wouldnt put anything like a 6000 series GPU with one, plus that 1600 is going to be a big bottleneck for you since first gen ryzen still didnt have that great of single core performance which is what you would want in games.

I know that a 1600 will bottleneck, probably will upgrade to a 3600 eventually (can't do zen 3 without a mobo upgrade unfortunately). The raidmax psu is my current psu, sorry if I didn't make that clear. I am planning on upgrading my rx 5700 to either an rx 6700xt or an rx 6800, whatever I can get my hands on for about $900

What I'm saying is that I own it already, it's in my pc. I am planning on upgrading, but I want to know if it's something I need to do now or something I can do soon

Who are these people and what dimension are they drawing their black magic powers from?

The only good Raidmax power supplies are the recent Andyson R-based ones, and even those I would avoid just based on the warranty period.

Why spend $900(!) on a GPU only to skimp on a power supply and use a really low end insufficient one.
