So, at OcUK's price for the Palit RTX 2070 Dual, it seems silly to buy the equivalent RTX 2060 Super. This for folding rather than gaming and Palit is the choice here as it has DVI-DL to feed my KVM. The Seasonic G series 450W has been in this PC for almost seven years so is probably not putting out anywhere near 450W any more and it's being retired. The rest of the PC is almost irrelevant as it's just a 35W CPU and a couple of SSDs. Having read a few threads here, the Corsair RM 650 seems the PSU of choice so I'm really just after a sanity check before I buy.
Hello RTX 2070, goodbye Seasonic G 450W

If it's just for folding on a 2070 with a low power system either of these would be more than ample:

Honestly, chances are your current Seasonic would be just fine too.

For the sake of £7 get the 550W.If it's just for folding on a 2070 with a low power system either of these would be more than ample:

The 550W is worth going for honestly, it'd be enough for the majority of modern gaming systems should the OP ever wish to repurpose it. I own the 650W version of the same PSU and I do highly recommend it, better quality internals than the Corsair RM the OP is considering.
