Is my psu enough?

[R92F]

Hi!

 

Currently I have a r5 5600x with an  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti powered by an Seasonic S12II 520W. I was thinking in making an upgrade to a Sapphire 6700 and I don't know if my PSU would be enough.

What do you guys think?

If it isn't what wattage should I buy?

 

Thanks for the help!

More than enough.

Although 520w is plenty, your Seasonic PSU does not have the quality and performance you want with recent hardware. Bad voltage regulation due to the very outdated design of groupregulation and the unit has bad or even missing protections.

You PSU has enough power but is bad anyway indeed (Tier E "avoid" at psucultists  )

So what wattage do you recomend? 650W?

Even 550w would suffice but 650w or even higher is not a bad move for the future.

What's available in your country. Do you have a link to a webshop?

Usually I buy at pcdiga.com

There's also 850w for the same price but it's out of stock https://pcdiga.com/componentes/fontes-alimentac-o/fontes-alimentac-o/fonte-de-alimentac-o-atx-corsair-rm-series-rm850-80-plus-gold-full-modular-cp-9020235-eu-840006631125

Great question! Before upgrading any PC component, checking whether your PSU can handle the power requirements is essential for stability and long-term reliability. A quality power supply with sufficient wattage and the right connectors can make all the difference in system performance and safety. Confira Always consider not just the total wattage, but also the PSU's efficiency rating, age, and power delivery on the 12V rail. A little planning now can help avoid unexpected issues later.
