I have a seasonic Focus GX 650W, I m wondering if that would be enough to power an rtx 4070 and a ryzen 7 5800x3D 

Other specs:

Gigabyte b550 gaming x v2

Corsair MP600 1tb

16 gigs of Fury Beast ddr4 memory(dual channel)

other specs are irelevant i hope

 

The Focus GX 650w is a good unit and plenty of power for your system.  I run an overclocked Ryzen 7700x and overclocked RTX 4080 on a 750w and I see around 420-450w full system power during heavy gaming. I would feel comfortable using the Focus GX 650w even on my system.

 

Someone mentioned power spikes but the RTX 4000 series do not suffer from this issue in the way the RTX 3000 series would.

 

Stop worrying, plenty of power 🙂 Happy Gaming 👍👍

200W card so I don't see that being an issue at all. 

yea  it definetly could work but more than 650w is advised, if your Budget doesnt really allow for it, id atleast give it a try

but GX is at worst a B tier PSU, which is good quality,

 

or in other words...

200W TDP would spike at worst on 400W transient, which is about 150W headroom still if I roughly calculate the PSU efficiency, yep
