Questionpsu compatibility
Hi all,
I've been wanting to upgrade my GPU for a while now. My GTX 1070ti Aorus stopped working well recently—black screen, fans spinning nonstop, and random BSODs. I finally got an RX6700 non-XT model from XFX at our local shop (the card is brand new with a 21-month warranty, bought for $280). I'm worried about my PSU's ability to handle this upgrade. So far it's functioning, but I'm unsure about long-term reliability.
Specs: Ryzen 5 5600
Mobo: Gigabyte B550 gaming x v2
Ram: 32gb 3200mhz HyperX RGB RAM
GPU: XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 CORE Gaming
PSU: EVGA BQ650, 650W 80+bronze
Storage: Two 500gb NVMe drives and one 1TB HDD
Case: Phanteks P400 mesh front panel
Note: The PSU is about 5 years old.
If you think I should replace the PSU for any reason, could you suggest some options within a $100-$120 budget?
Thanks in advance!
Peace !
PSU recommendation: EVGA BQ650, 650W 80+bronze
Note: This PSU is about 5 years old.

I suggest upgrading to a branded PSU capable of delivering 750W for the full system.
Could you share your location and preferred buying platform?
