Is my 650W PSU enough for RTX 5070 upgrade?

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to upgrade my GPU and wanted to double-check if my current PSU is enough for the job. Here's my current setup:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B760M GAMING X AX

CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F

RAM: Kingston FURY 16GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL40 Beast Black

Case: Fractal Design Pop Mini Silent Black TG Clear Tint

PSU: GIGABYTE P650G (80+ Gold, 650W)

I'm looking to upgrade to an RTX 5070, and according to PCPartPicker, the estimated total power draw is around 472W. Do you think my 650W PSU is enough for this setup, or should I consider upgrading the PSU as well?

Thanks in advance!

650w is plenty 🙂  The Gigabyte P650G is a C:Tier PSU but it should still do the trick.

I personally run a overclocked 9800X3D and overclocked RTX 4080 and I see around 420-480w full system power draw during heavy gaming.

Even I could get away with a solid 550w in theory.

it should be fine, if you want more of a buffer you could get a 750w.
