I would strongly recommend cancelling that build and getting advice on something more suitable, it's not a good purchase, AMD would be far better.

no problem. thanks I suspected this to be the case. was struggling to find an official power usage of the 3060 ti compared to my current 2060

i think its supposedly only 40 Watts more. though I know most people advise to have a certain amount of overhead to compensate for psu degrading. hence you saying the 750w psu.

so i'd assume something like this would be good?

Corsair 750 Watt RM750x Fully Modular 80+ Gold ATX Power Supply/PSu​

(dont know if this forum allows links)
