I was wondering if you could advise me whether I could replace my GTX1650 with a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card. My PC is running Windows 10 with all updates and the following hardware:-

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor, 3793 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
BaseBoard Product X570 GAMING X
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB
 
The card might work, but it would be much better if you upgrade your current PSU as well. Your current PSU model is not a very high-end SKU, and Gigabyte/Nvidia recommend a min high quality 550 Watts PSU.

That's a low budget Corsair PSU model though. You would much better off and SAFE by upgrading to some other high quality power supply unit. For the RTX 3060 I would definitely recommend grabbing some other PSU.

Many Thanks for the info 🙂 That will mean asking my wife for even more money 🙂 🙂 🙂 I had a feeling it would require more than the purchase of a new card 🙂
