Hey.

I'm currently planning on upgrading my GPU, but am wondering if my current specs will e a good fit for the new card.

I currently have a AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with a chieftec gps 700a8 power source. I am thinking about buying a Asus dual rtx 3060ti.

What I'm wondering is if the components will fit well together or will it somehow bottleneck? I don't know too much about computers so that's why I'm asking.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Okay thanks, from a bit of research there also shouldn't be any problems between the GPU and power supply 🤔

You don't want o hook up a 3060 Ti to an old group regulated unit with bad voltage regulation and bad protections. Replace it for a decent unit with LLC topology.

Okay, what could be the risks If i don't upgrade the power supply. And what PSU would be a good fit? Thanks for all the help!
