6700xt Will 600W PSU be enough?

[Lil-Dabbie]

I know online it states everywhere that 750W is recommended but I found an amazing deal and would like to know if 600W is good enough.

Depends on the CPU and what PSU unit exactly you're working with. 600w will be perfectly fine 99% of the time. Also, what's the 'amazing deal' that you found?

I have a 9700k and I found a 6700xt for $300 which is by far the lowest I have seen (yes used).

Nice, That's definitely a good price. You probably dont need to sweat the power.

Okay, and yeah I don't have an overclock or anything going for my CPU anyway it does the trick as is.

I'd argue it depends more on which specific power supply

That PSU is trash, I'd get a quality 750w unit.

Is there a cheap one by chance? I am trying to keep a budget. (Already pushed budget with the new card if I get it.

Grab this guy for $109 and never have to worry about a PSU Again. This is actually a good deal

PSU is not something you cheap out on.

Your current one will work (probably just fine), but it's preferable that you ditch it. It's a dated, lowend unit with questionable reliability and protections.

I know, but this shitty one has kept me going since 2016. I just need to know a cheap one $60 or less with at least 700W.

This leaves him so little headroom though. That RMX at $109 is a fantastic deal for a Tier SSS power supply with a 10 year warranty

$60 or less at 750w is like exploding PSU territory

I see 18k reviews on Amazon alone with 4.6 out of 5 stars. Surely it would be just fine right?

It's barely better than what you have right now. You obviously don't want my advice so ????

450w transient on a 6700xt at 70w above reference tdp, 150w pull from a 9700k at 25w above peak power draw, 50w for the rest of the system=650w... in the absolute worst case during a transient. The PSU can handle higher then that for transients... 

Realistically? More like ~500w for transients under full load, with gaming load being quite a bit lower. 

[Pixelfie]

For $65 this is the cheapest I would get, but a higher quality unit like this ($89.99) could definitely save you headaches in the future. Super Flower Leadex III Super Pro 750W

What if he ever upgrades though? A PSU is a multi build commitment and they have 10 year warranties. Plus, more headroom is always better. We are splitting hairs over $40. Just work a few overtime hours

I am in school paying thousands, I can't simply work more hours. The reason I am in this predicament is because I wanted a new 1080p card to replace my 1060 and this 6700xt came up for $300. I realistically only had $250 but figured it was worth the extra at this price. Now since I am already over budget I am looking for a power supply I can trust for the next lets say 4 years until I can truly get some money together.
