Question RX 6700 XT with a 550w PSU ?

[rokeliss]

Right now I have an RX 6600 GPU, 550w PSU and an i7-6700K.
I want to change the GPU to an RX 6700 XT but i googled that I need a higher wattage PSU.
Is it there a GPU like the the RX 6700 that can run with 550 watts or can I run the RX 6700 XT
with my existing PSU ?

What model/manufacturer card is that (RX 6700 XT)?
Different manufacturers list different minimal PSU requirements.
For RX 6700 XT - general minimum recommended PSU is 650W.

What manufacturer/model PSU are you using?

With insufficient power/low quality psu you can potentially blow up your computer and burn down your house.

That is essentially 500W PSU ( 504W on 12V rail).
You'll have to get a new PSU for RX 6700 XT.

It shouldn't blow up though. It has number of protections built into it.
But expect sudden shutdowns when loading graphics card to max/playing games.

i7 9700k is not compatible with your motherboard.
You'd have to change motherboard and probably reinstall windows.

CPU upgrade should be fine without requiring PSU upgrade.
