Planning on picking up a 3070Ti/3080 in the near future and have plumbed numbers into a few calculators with differing effect.
Currently have a Super Flower Leadex III 550W 80 PLUS Gold Modular PSU. Would I be ok running this without damaging the GPU or other components?
If I upgrade, I don't expect to sell the PSU so not as worried about that.
My build is from 2019 so its a Ryzen 5 3600, ATX B450 Tomahawk Max, 16GB DDR4, 2x SSDs, 1x HDD, 3x 140mm fans, cpu heat sink and currently a 1660 Super.
Pcbuilds is giving 485, Coolmaster is giving 505, Outervision 500 but recommends 545, and Newegg said 700 for some reason.
Would I be right in assuming the worst I'll run into is some random restarts during gaming if the load got too heavy? Had assumed I would need a new PSU but not sure its worth buying one based on the above.
