Recently decided to buy the MSI GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING X TRIO 8GB Video Card but I see that it's recommended that I have at least 650W when I currently have the Seasonic G-550 550W 80+ Gold Semi Modular Power Supply. Am I in need of upgrading to a bigger PSU for the addition of the card? I hear things like the 30 series spikes in power so I'm unsure.
Not sure if any of this is needed but I'll provide it in case -
My current build -
- Intel Core i5 9600K Hexa Core LGA 1151 4.60GHz Unlocked CPU Processor
other -
- BenQ GL2460 24" Full HD 2ms LED Monitor
- Razer BlackWidow Chroma RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
- Razer DeathAdder Chroma RGB Gaming Mouse
- Sennheiser GAME ZERO Noise Blocking PC Gaming Headset - Black
- BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P 24" 144Hz 1ms Gaming Monitor
Thanks in advance.
