PSU Wattage reccomnedation?

How much higher of wattage would be reccomended going over pc parts picker estimated wattage would be reccomended for a new PSU?

Can you just tell us the parts? That sounds like a very hard guess to make.

You don't need a new PSU. Your current 650w is fine.

It depends on what the estimated wattage is - there isn't really a fixed amount of overrage that you can recommend, more so what you feel comfortable with and what you can afford.

My estimated wattage is 570, I'm using a 750w power supply. That's also the recommended minimum PSU for my GPU.

You could do with sharing the parts/estimated wattage, that would help.

PC Upgrade

Greetings, I am looking to upgrade my current PC (parts listed below) with a new CPU and GPU to run Planet Coaster better and Planet Coaster 2 when it releases. Plus run some of the newer games coming out. I have a budget of 500-600 pounds. I don't mind also upgrading with any other parts if see...

Yeah, I'd get at least a 750w PSU
And a better PSU than that kolink

I'm assuming you want to keep costs down and you don't need anything crazy for that set-up - so i'd I'd suggest getting this, about the same as the Kolink but much better.
