Currently I have a 1060 3gb and im looking to upgrade to the 3060ti whenever it comes in stock. I have a 500 watt Bronze Plus PSU, and im wondering if its enough. I also have a ryzen 7 3700x I bought about a month ago, 2x8 GB ram, and no optical drive.
I used a very in-depth PSU Wattage calculator, and it said for what I have plus a 3060ti I would need a 440 watt power supply, but im seeing several sources saying I need a 600-650 watt PSU. Idk if its important, but the PSU is 3 years old along with the rest of my PC except for the CPU, the motherboard (also brand new), and a stick of ram.
If I do need to get a new PSU, should I just get a 650 watt or should I get something like an 850 watt, for if in 3-4 years I want to upgrade my gpu again.
