Can I use my Seasonic Focus 650w Gold while I save up for upgrading PSU?

[IzAldrin]

I currently have Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 5600 XT and waiting for the upgrade parts of Ryzen 7 5700X and XFX RX 7800 XT and noticed that the 7800 XT has 700W PSU requirement. Would I still be able to use it while I save up to upgrade my PSU? Or will the 650w will suffice? Thanks!

Should be fine while you save up for a new one, I would go for a 1000w if you can. Manufacture usually have some headroom for their power requirements.

I see. The best I can find here is a DeepCool PN850M which is a B tier is PSU tierlist. Other PSU with higher wattage is out of my budget.

AMD specs indicate that the 700W requirement is for a 7950X based system. A quality 650W PSU like the Focus 650 should have no problems powering a 5700X / RX 7800 XT system.

The PSU should be the top priority when budgeting, given it can destroy everything else you bought if it goes wrong.
