I'm planning to overclock both components and want to ensure stable performance. I've seen recommendations ranging from 750W to 900W. Is a 750W PSU sufficient, or should I consider a higher wattage model? Any specific brands or models that are highly recommended for this setup would be appreciated!

Honestly, if ur planning to overclock both that 9800X3D and the 9070 XT, don't just settle for the bare minimum wattage. Transient spikes are a real thing with these newer cards and high-end chips!!! Tbh, looking at the market right now, you really want to stick with the heavy hitters like Seasonic or Corsair. Seasonic is basically the gold standard for internals since they actually manufacture their own platforms, so you basically cant go wrong with their high-end lines. Corsair is also a super safe bet because their warranty and support are top-tier if something actually goes sideways. I'd personally lean towards a bit more headroom than 750W just for the efficiency curve alone. When ur pushing clocks and voltage, the last thing you want is ur PSU fan screaming because it's pinned at max load. Just get a solid Gold or Platinum rated unit from one of those big brands and you'll be set for years. It’s way better to have that extra buffer and not need it than to deal with random shutdowns during a heavy gaming session, right?
