System:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Steel Legend
Ram: 4 x 8gb Crucial Ballistix 3000 MHz DDR4
GPU : Zotac 1070 Mini (Current) to Asus TUF Gaming 3070 ti OC(Purchased)
Storage: 1 x Crucial BX500 1TB, 1x Western Digital 2TB HDD, 1x WD SN550 1TB NVMe, 1 x Adata SP580 120GB
PSU: Corsair CV650 80 Plus Bronze Certified

My concern is
  1. I am going to upgrade my gpu to 3070 ti, will CV650 be sufficient to power the whole system after installation?
  2. I am also using a old power cable from my vs450 to power my PSU as the cable it came with, is not compatible to be connected to UPS BVX1200LI-IN 1200VA / 650W, 230V.
So should keep using the CV650 for my system or should I upgrade? if I should keep it should I change the power cable from 6amp to 16amp(like use a convertor or something with 16amp to 6amp connector for my UPS)?

Thank you in advance

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

How old is the PSU in question? Use the power cable that comes with the PSU you'll invest in, when in doubt.

You should look into a reliably built unit from Corsair, one that has a higher advertised wattage than what the card is suggested to need. The VS was a horrible unit and the CV is just a rebadged VS unit.

Thank you for responding.

I have purchased the PSU back in Jan 2021.
Any suggestion on which PSU to go with?

Where are you located and how much do you have to spend for your PSU?

I am from India, I can purchase around 100-120 USD PSU. But the issue with my cable is that I do not have 16Amp outlet even if I wanted to use it. Will the 6Amp work by any chance?

Should I go with this? Corsair RM750e 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular SMPS CP-9020248-IN (9k INR)
or
Deepcool DQ750-M V2L, 750 Watt, 80 Plus Gold(7.7k INR)
or
NZXT C750 PSU 80 Plus Gold 750 Watt (9k INR)

The V1 or V2? In case of the V1 get the Corsair RMe, in case of the V2 get the NZXT C750 Gold V2.

I have no clue on the version for the psu but here is the link for the product:

I couldn't find any info for Corsair RM750e on official website, what's the difference between RM750e and RM750? :
