Hello! My power supply is a Thermaltake Litepower 650W. I recently ordered a RX 6650 XT, but I am not planning to install it with this PSU. I'm afraid it could be too weak, despite being a "650W" (which I think is more like 550W). Should I wait until I buy a new power supply? Or I could limit the power and framerate to test the new GPU for a while? Never had any issues with this PSU.

I'll list my full configuration:
CPU: Intel Core i3-12100
GPU: RX 6650 XT (on its way)
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz
MOBO: MSI PRO H610M-G

I wouldn't even consider it a PSU, honestly. Go here, scroll down to Tier F, that should tell you as much, regardless of what GPU you want to pair the PSU with, it's a hazard to the entire platform.

The PSU is considered to be the heart of the system, if the unit has a heartache, it takes out everything it's hooked up to. This is why you buy a reliably built, quality PSU. When shopping for a PSU, it's 80+ efficiency badge and advertised wattage aren't the only things you look for.
