3070 with 500W psu?

[420.Days]

i have a ryzen 5 3600 with a gtx 1070
and planning to buy a 3070.

actually i have a 350w psu and everything works fine,
i have no lightning or many fans, just one in front one in back,
1 hdd, 1 ssd.

is a good 500w enough for the 3070 or better go with 650w+?

thx in advance

I just bought a 750w psu for the 3070 just to be safe. 500w wont be enough

1070 need 150w and they recommend 500w
3070 need 220w and they recommend 650w

but think you´re right before i have to buy again in future better go with 650-700+

[_I_]

a quality 500w would be enough

your 350w psu is not enough for the build with the 1070, unless it has no extra drives, fans or accessories

Use PC part picker for Estimated Voltage usage for your PC build.

so a 550w seasonic 80 bronze will be eought for let's say the cheapest/mid range amd big navy or 3060?
The 3070 is still expansive at 800 euro there so i won't buy that.

Better to have more than less now because hardware is starting to get more power hungry. I don't recommend less than 650W.

Intel and NVIDIA have basically given up on power draw at this point because gamers don't care about how much power their system will use. They can push it as much as they want as a result.

Hasn't been revealed yet, but leaks are closer to 300W

just the 3060ti announced yet and it need 180-200W, think 550w will work.
and the 3070 from PNY or Zotac is around 520€, the asus rog strix 660€

Well let's say 300 maxed out always+ 65(ryzen/intel with 65tdp) + the other things which i don't really know but i don't think it will eat more than 100w altogether = 465,in theory a 500w will be enough i suppose, my 590 never used more than 200 and in few cases hits 200,so the rest of the wats will be used as buffer?

500?it's super cheap.. would be coll if there the prices are reasonable.. im feared about amd aswell increased prices just because.

Edit: the 3070 for 800 disappeared from amazon now that i checked

Exactly, which is why 2 years ago I future proof that part of my system buying a super Nova 1000 W

Yeah...but i don't want to buy a new psu , soooo if people can run things with their current psu why not asking,im the kind of people that like to use things until it get's broken ,if it works don't trash it ...i don't quite remember the real quote but still..
