3070 lists as 220W but can be a bit higher when fully powered. 12600k involves more details. Some users might look for the worst scenario, but real-world use like gaming won’t hit that level. You need clear measurement criteria for a solid result.

Estimated around 350 watts, but verify with your PCPSRPICER for your particular card.

That’s quite a bit higher than expected, around 500 watts or so. My RMi confirms it and it should be fairly reliable. Keep in mind, this is what you typically need to consider. You’re aiming for at least 600 watts, maybe even 700, since processors can really spike power usage during short bursts.

Minimum should be at least 650, but since the PSU has been offline for a while, an 850 would be beneficial for your upcoming build if you plan to use more power.
