Definitely know that feeling lmao.
I looked online, and some people said that the best PSU calculator is the one incorporated in the CPU part picker website. I attached two pics, one with my current 2060S and the other with the 3060 Ti. Using the EVGA 650 GQ. Cheers!

the 3060ti sips power. anything 500W of worth while build quality & above will be fine (if your cpu or other components are high power draw, 600+). you should see the pins on the power plug adapter, they look like tiny little ipod ribbon cable contact, like a plug for a miniature video card. if you see them , you'll know what i mean.

Is this message for me: "you should see the pins on the power plug adapter, they look like tiny little ipod ribbon cable contact, like a plug for a miniature video card. if you see them , you'll know what i mean."? Then the 650 BQ will be enough? Thanks!!

Easily recommends 750W psu for my system running Enermax Platimax 500W, beginning to believe I have an exceptional piece.

The BQ PSU test used to be a reliable PSU wattage calculator..

Seems to not overshoot drastically trying to get you to spend more money. Said 605w worst case for me. 8700K and 3060ti on a 500w unit with several hard drives, yikes. Don't run furmark and cinebench at the same time.....

650W or 700W if you'll think overclocking, or that's depends your CPU, or you'll buy other CPU.
