Question would I have enough power?

[muddysoap14]

so I was thinking of upgrading my pc this year, but due to some unforeseen circumstances money is tighter then I would like.
so in the mean time I'm thinking of just upgrading my graphics card for now, from a 2060 gigabyte to a AMD 7700xt,
this way i can hold out for a little bit longer and give me time to asses if the new stuff that's coming out (like the 9000 AMD cpu's, and any new gpu's) is even worth it, hopefully this time next year the prices will drop especially if brought in a sale.

so my main question is if I swap the 2060 for the 7700xt would I have enough power with my current 650 watt PSU or would I need to get a new power supply? like say a 850 watt? (bearing in mind I will be doing a full system upgrade next year) so I'm wondering if a should just bite the bullet and just get a new power supply as well.

when it comes to the 7700xt I would most likely only have it for two years before upgrading that to a 5000 sires nvidia card or a AMD equivalent.

current pc specs.
cpu: ryzen 7 2700x
Gpu: gigabyte 2060 oc
Motherboard: rog strix x370-f gaming
RAM: G-skill 4x8gb 32gb total

NVME M.2: one evo plus 2tb samsung

thank you for your time, Muddy.

You'd be pushing it on paper, though being a gold unit, even though older, I'd run it, just don't overclock, keep things at stock, The PSU should shut down if its too much, which I don't think you'd run into that issue honestly. But Yeah I wouldn't run it long term, but should get you buy until you build a new rig next year.

If it was a crappy cheap PSU, I'd say otherwise.

Good Luck!
