Hello, you're thinking about purchasing a new GPU like the RTX 3080 or possibly the 6900X. I noticed it needs three 8-pin connectors, but your PSU only has one 6+2 pin and an 8-pin slot for the CPU. The EVGA W1 700W 80 Plus white is also in mind. Manufacturers aren't clear on how to power it safely with your current setup. You might need a different PSU or a new one to handle the requirements.

This part is really bad quality. It should guide you when choosing a new unit. Aim for at least tier B, preferably A, with a minimum of 750w, ideally 850w. Updated on April 26, 2022 by Pixelfie

Both cards need at least 850 watts or more. If you don’t get a really powerful 750-watt model, it’s pretty close to what you need.

That power supply is in the "Throw in Trash Right Now" category. Grab a 1000G6!

It looks like you're weighing options with limited availability due to GPU costs. You're considering an EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GT 850W Full Modular 80 Plus Gold 220-GT-0850-Y2 and wondering if it meets your needs.

I was really impressed with that PSU... you didn’t have to push yourself too much.

The reality is tough. EVGA W1 isn't worth it. You should avoid getting it from the start.
