Just managed to snag a Sapphire Pulse 7900XT on sale here and my 4070 is in pretty good condition so I should be able to make a decent buck back on that.
I checked on outervisions' PSU calculator and they were saying I should have heaps of headroom, even with a bunch of USB devices running, light strips, and 4 case fans.
I'm excited to put it into my system, which uses a year-old RM750X from Corsair. 80+ gold, highly reviewed, was A tier last I checked.
Anyway, that being said, I'm not sure what to trust. Outervision's calculator is accurate but doesn't account for load spikes, and I'd rather just return the 7900XT in box if it's going to be banging over my power limits all the time. I have a big and well ventilated case too.
R7 5800X3D, 32GB DDR4-3200, B550-A Strix, 2 NVME drives, 2 monitors, 6 case fans running relatively slowly, a couple of corsair ARGB light strips & some external USB devices. The calculator threw out some max load wattage at around 568 watts.
