RTX 3070 with TX650M
Is it good to use above PSU with RTX 3070?

Yes, it'll be fine unless you're running a CPU that's drawing 250W+ and the rest of the system is also drawing a lot of power which is unrealistic.

The 3070 FE model can draw up to and around 300W by itself. With most configurations, 650W is more than enough.

TDP is not a maximum power draw value if that's what you think it is. Power draw can easily exceed that because TDP is just selectively picked based on what a company wants to advertised as far as CPU and GPU cores are concerned.

Example: 105W CPUs like the 3900X can use easily up to 142W at stock, and with PBO enabled, that number can reach over 200W in some cases.

measure the draw at the wall under peak load, and leave room for expansion and degradation

Ok. CPU is A10 7700k. This setup is just for mining
