    PSU ramps up and down while gaming

    Idk for sure, but as long as the fan is open to some kind of open air, then it should be circulating air well. Like I said if not that then its just a faulty unit.

    You definitely have enough wattage on your PSU. Maybe the PSU is in a corner, and the fan is towards the case instead of the space above it, which would hinder how much air it could circulate.

    500 watt PSU for 3060ti?

    Ok, thanks. I found an 80+ Gold 650 watt PSU for $100, but for 750 its $110 and $125 for 850. Would it be harmful to get an 850 over a 650, or would it just be a matter of not using the wattage therefore it being wasteful. Im just thinking id probably want this PSU to last for 2 GPU upgrades...
