Currently my specs are as follows:

I am upgrading to get a RX 6700 XT (or equivalent nvidia) in due course and am using a corsair VX550w PSU. Which PSU would be most suited. Budget is tight hence would appreciate a cheaper one. Please share online link to buy from as buying offline isn't an option here. Thanks.

Deepcool PM650D is under 5k, should be good enough on a budget.

will it be sufficient for RX 6700XT and this machine? Those power supply sites showed 550 W, so just a bit concerned. Anyhow, thanks for the recommendation.
Also, 650D is gold rated which is, great.

My i5 12400 + 3070 rig with UPS & 27" 1440p monitor draws 400W (power draw measured at wall) while gaming, rarely 450W. Monitor's load is like 25W for me. So even a 550W PSU will suffice but for momentary spikes, people get higher wattage just to be safe.

So a 650W PSU can deliver at max 650W with capability to handle higher momentary spikes as well. At 650W power output, actual power draw from wall will be more accounting for inefficiencies.
