Oh my bad forgot to mention the rest of the specs lmao
Ryzen 7 5700X
2x16 3200mhz CL16 RGB ram
5 chassis fans (only 4 are RGB)

1x sata SSD
1x nvme
and a single fan air cooler.

Oh no problem at all, get that 9070 XT and play 🙂 

You probably don't need to upgrade but it would be recommended to get a higher quality PSU for the long term.

 

I ran run a overclocked 9800X3D + overclocked RTX 4080 and I see around 420-480w full system power draw during very CPU and GPU bound games. 

Hello men! and probably women? anyway I have a Corsair CV650 Bronze psu. NOW HEAR ME OUT before you go crazy on me please listen, ive built my pc with this psu 5 years ago originally running an RTX 2060. Ive upgraded a year ago to a used RX 6700 XT, it draws on average 150w - 200w and max ive seen it do is 218w. I did some research and according to benchmarks and AMD's own recommendations, i would be fine with an RX 9070 non xt, it barely draws a few watts more than my current gpu and i also only play at 1080p, the 9070 non xt is already twice the performance of my 6700 XT if not more most of the time. Its also nearly 150 euro cheaper than the cheapest XT model and id say 150 euro for 10% less performance is a pretty decent deal. So the answer may seem to just get a 9070 non xt BUT ik for a fact i will never stop thinking to myself "i should have just gotten the XT model". Could i get away with running a 9070 XT on this powersupply for atleast a few weeks till i will be able to afford a new one?

Yes, you will be fine running a 9070 XT with this PSU for a few weeks until you can get a new one 🙂 

What is your CPU?

I ran run a overclocked 9800X3D + overclocked RTX 4080 and I see around 420-480w full system power draw during very CPU and GPU bound games.

Good 🙂  The wattage is fine but the quality is poor.

It will be alright until you get a new PSU.
