Nvidia recommend a 750w psu for the 3070ti so you should be ok with a branded 750w

TPU had sold over 400W (card only) for some AIB ones:
Zotac GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMP Extreme Holo Review - The Best RTX 3070 Ti
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMP Extreme Holo is the highest-clocked RTX 3070 Ti available; it also comes with a huge cooler that’s over 35 cm long. Temperatures and noise levels are excellent, depending on whether you’ve activated the software-switched dual BIOS for "performance" or "quiet" mode.
Unsure what the max spikes of 12900K are, but if they are 250W then things do look tight.
Edit: if Nvidia only recommended 750W you might be fine. Although wasn't the chronology September 2021 for the 3070Ti and October 2021 for the 12900K? Before that it had been years since a top CPU was that power hungry.

So would I be better off with a 3070? Is that a fair bit less? I've downloaded HW Monitor, will do a stream and see what the 12900K's maximum is.
Check this out, it lists as 550W recommended and 220W draw. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3070.c3674
That's for the basic, so look for the model you are interested in.
Peak power consumption for your 12900K is 241W according to google.
edit: doh, just saw komp already linked you a very useful chart.

You're happy to spend £600 on a CPU and £650 on a GPU but you cant afford a better PSU?
That'll be the stock answer next gen except better will be "a new high-end ATX 3.0 PSU".
... Which might be £300 on its own

Have ran a 3080 on a RM650x fine, 750W should be enough for sure.
If you really want a 3070ti then snag a FE version while they are in stock. Otherwise a 3070 does use less power and will save on the electricity bill. The AMD 6700 is quite a bit cheaper but obviously doesn't perform as well, the 6800 is slightly cheaper but isn't as good in ray tracing. https://youtu.be/h3yJEy--Uyc?t=668

Many thanks for the heads up guys. Only reason is I really can't be arsed buying a new PSU just for a graphics card update and sorting the cabling out on top of that.

I feel ya brother.Many thanks for the heads up guys. Only reason is I really can't be arsed buying a new PSU just for a graphics card update and sorting the cabling out on top of that.
prices are still quite high for now, once they confirm release date and price for the 4000 series 3000 series could be used a coffee matt or a Frisbee.
Plus why would anyone pay £400 for old spec thats probably mined to death when you can get brand new 4000 series for the same price and double performance.

from what i understand Nvidia have a threshold for how low the GPU's will go, 3070s wont go lower that £300 and the 3080ti would sit around the £400 - £450 mark. I personally would not buy a GPU now counter to what jay2cent said. This is actually the worse time as your basically buying old tech with newer tech out in a couple of months which should push down the 3000's series card more.

we could see really good deals on the 3080ti's if it's on par with the 4070, especially if they have overstock of ampere cards.
Nvidia restarts GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB production to get rid of excess Ampere stock
Nvidia has reportedly restarted manufacturing the GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB variant two months after it was discontinued. It seems that the company has excess stock of GA102 GPUs and wants to use them before the RTX 4000 series launch.

HP for that or it's just hearsay.
There's more than enough BS floating around without adding to it.
Whether it's hearsay or not, no way will Nvidia drop 3070 or 3080 series card below £300, they want to get rid of their surplus stock for Ampere cards. Unfortunately we will never see high end GPU's for less than £300 due to bots and scalpers that drive up price. SO even when the 4000 series drop the MSRP price will be higher which will mean prices of the 3070ti & 3080ti being still high until 2023 at least. but ill eat my hat if im wrong
if the 3080ti drops to £400 ill buy one brand new just waiting for black friday deals

Then please don't state opinion or hearsay as fact, we've got enough idiots on here as it is (myself included
).
