Hello I want to buy a GeForce RTX 3060 ROG STRIX OC - 12 GB video card but i don't know if my 720 watt power supply can run it. Can you help me?

Please list the model of the power supply. 720 watts is lots of power, so that much is fine.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Make/model would help, other parts in your system too.

It'd possibly be fine, although 720W is an uncommon spec on generic/modern PSU's, so I'd question the era in which it was released (commonly late 2000's & early 2010's).

Anything above 600w should be enough. But if it's a cheap unit I recommend replacing it because it might not actually be 750w and could fry your parts.
