[SOLVED] Is my PSU good enough?

[Horiizon]

I want to upgrade to an 6700 xt and u know the recommanded psu is 650w, but i am still worried that my Corsair CV650 won't be enough for it.
Am i just paranoid and it'll be okay or will there be problems?

Ryzen 5 3600 oc'd with PBO
32gb HyperX ram
ASUS TUF B550M-plus
ROG STRIX 1060 OC (for now)
250gb samsung 970 evo
2x 7.2k rpm Baracuda HDD's

It's a bit entry-level for this purpose.

yeah i know, but will it be enough or will it be better if i just spend more money and upgrade?

You can never be sure there will be problems, but in this case the chance for them is considerable. CV line is not meant for high level GPU and 6700xt would be considered as such by some people.

It is a lower quality budget unit but has built in protection so unlikely to take other components if fails. You can do much worse than that

CV is iffy. It's one of those psus that falls into the catagory of 'almost'. It's better than an Office psu, worse than a gaming built psu.

It's like playing basketball in low rise tennis shoes. Lot of ppl do it, it generally works out fine, but it's not a replacement for real basketball high tops with some ankle support.

Try it and see. It may just work out fine, no issues. Or you might get shutdowns when the CV can't handle spike recovery since it wasn't designed for such.

If it won't be able to handle it, then i 'll just downclock it a little till i buy a new PSU.
Thanks for your time.
