Question Psu swap help!

[Haxordxh]

Im going to change my corsair cv550 80 plus bronze atx 550w to corsair cx750 atx 750w so can anyone tell if i can just do it without any problems or is there something i need to make sure or does it even fit my build? Heres my pc specs if anybody needs them: cpu: 3.70 gigahertz AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core thermal solution:
Wraith Stealth GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT RAM: 16 gb of ddr4 PSU: Corsair CV-550 550W 80 plus bronze storage: 512GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD motherboard: PRIME B550-PLUS
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: If the corsair cx750 isnt a good option feel free to recommend other psu's! but it must be 750W or 800W

For ten dollars more you can get a significantly better power supply that will last you much longer than your current selection. Check out the Corsair RM750e. For ten more dollars you're getting a fully modular power supply for neater cable management, ATX 3.0 compliance, and 80+ Gold efficiency opposed to 80+ Bronze, meaning it's much more efficient and draws less wattage when idling or using small amounts of power.

As far as fit, your old power supply is a full size ATX unit, meaning your current selection and this new one I recommended will both fit just fine. Your current PSU is not modular, but for building in the future, make sure you do not reuse old cables with a new power supply. Only use the cables that are included in the box. Plugging cables into different power supplies can cause short circuits and fires. Just ensure all the cables are nice and snug when you plug them in, and route all the cables you need; you should be fine. Hope this helped, take care.

Thank you so much! When im putting the new cables in do i just put every cable to the same place the previous
cable was? Im sorry if this is a dumb question but i dont know that much about building pcs

Direct swap except.. If the supplies are modular install the new cables and hide the old cables.. I was going to suggest a 750w quality power supply. I like overkill. My 5950x, RTX3080ti OC 32gigs of DDR4, 2 Nvme drives and 2 BR optical drives. 1200w supply here.

Yes, there is no need to run anything extra. Just ensure you plug in your 24 pin for your motherboard on the right hand side, your CPU power in the top left, and any other cables for storage drives, fans, and power for your video card. Here's a video if you get stuck. Skip ahead to 1:29:30

I was still wondering what if the psu is too small for my case? What should I do then?

In that case you bought the wrong PSU (SFX, SFX-L, TFX or smt like that). Just return it and buy an ATX PSU.
