System details include a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, ASRock B450M Steel Legend motherboard, 4 x 8GB Crucial RAM at 3000 MHz DDR4, a Zotac 1070 Mini GPU (current model) upgraded to Asus TUF Gaming 3070 ti OC, and various storage devices. The PSU is a Corsair CV650 80 Plus Bronze certified unit. My question is whether the CV650 will still provide enough power after upgrading the GPU to 3070 ti. I also need to consider using an old power cable from my VS450 to connect the PSU to the UPS BVX1200LI-IN 1200VA / 650W, 230V. Should I continue using the CV650 or should I upgrade it? If possible, would it be better to switch to a 16A power cable instead of the current 6A one, perhaps with a converter? Thank you ahead.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Could you tell me how old the PSU is? Refer to the power cable that comes with the PSU you plan to buy; if unsure, it's best to choose a well-made model from Corsair with a higher wattage rating than the card recommends. The VS unit was poor quality, and the CV is essentially a rebranded version of the VS.

I am from India and can buy about 100-120 USD for a PSU. However, my cable doesn't have a 16Amp outlet even if I tried to use it. Will a 6Amp work? Should I choose the Corsair RM750e 750 Watt, 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular SMPS CP-9020248-IN (9k INR), the Deepcool DQ750-M V2L, or the NZXT C750 PSU 80 Plus Gold 750 Watt?

For the V1, use the Corsair RMe; for the V2, opt for the NZXT C750 Gold V2.
