R56 and 5820k psu recommendations

Hi all.

I just ordered a Vega 56 but didn't think about psu requirements.

Current system is 5820k @4.4 and 970.

Running on an old 550watt corsair psu that is over 10 years old and probably due for replacement anyway.

I randomly picked this seasonic as a replacement

Should I buy something else?

Thanks.

save 20 odd quid and get one of these instead. antec hcg gold is a rebranded seasonic focus plus, so basically the same psu inside.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £104.99
1 x Antec HCG Gold 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £102.95

Total: £219.64 (includes shipping: £11.70)

could get away with a 650w psu if you really wanted to
