I've a 450W BEQUIET PSU. 8600G cpu, 3 NVME drives and 2 SSD drives. Currently running a GTX 1080.
In gaming my plug in wattage meter goes up to 282W, on browsing it is stable at 66.5W.

The power difference between a GTX 1080 and an RTX 3070 is 70W give or take.
In Theory my system should handle that?
Google and other sources say 550W PSU minimum.

If I buy the RTX 3070, will it run OK or do I need a better PSU?

Thanks.
