Thanks! I was planning to replace this for quite some time now, but I just could not find the time. I guess I will switch to a different brand and get a gold+ psu. But is another 750w enough when i switch to 3070? Thank you so much!

I have been enduring its mustard cables from a while now anyways! LOL

750W is fine. Again, the problem here isn't the stated output of the PSU but the very low quality of the PSU.

That is usually really low end bad quality stuff, wouldn't power such a nice system with this.
