should I upgrade my 500 watt bronze PSU for my new GPU?
I'm planning to upgrade my pc from a amd radeon rx 5500 xt to a Radeon rx 9060 xt. my cpu is a ryzen 5 3600. I'm aware that my cpu is old but it's only around a 13% bottleneck in 1080p. my power supply is 500 watts with a bronze ranking. I called my prebuilt support and they said it's a risky upgrade considering my psu ranking. pc builds says my setup uses around 240 watts. am I good for the upgrade or should I replace the PSU too?
