between 2019 and 2022 i gradually improved my pc in 2019 i purchased a new gpu, in 2020 i bought a new psu of 650 watts. i used up my gpu a lot and it’s starting to show black cubes now and then (probably dying). i’ve been wanting to upgrade soon, but i really don’t want to buy a new psu (it’s still working after a lot of work).
i was considering the 7800xt but i’m unsure if its peak wattage would affect my system.
my rig (without gpu):

with a 7800xt it would be at 537w (total rig), but i see some oc versions that hit a higher peak of 292w (556w total rig)
556w would still be under 650w and i’m not a hardcore ocer. just need confirmation.
otherwise i’d go for the 4070super (less vram).
Your PSU isn't providing the same power it did when it was new after four years. You might consider replacing it with a 7800XT.

However, the PSU's performance over its lifetime isn't discussed in the PCPartPicker link or in this discussion.
Alternatively, you could opt for a 4070Super (it has less VRAM).
That's another option.
Also, remember to safeguard your investments—PSU is seen as the core of the system; if it fails, everything else suffers.
