Hello, my current setup is:

CPU: i7-12700
GPU: RX 6650 XT
RAM: 64GB (4 kits of 16GB Kingston Fury RGB 3200Hz DDR4)
Motherboard: B660 ASUS Prime D4 Plus
Case: Antec NX410 with 3 case fans
Heatsink: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
PSU: Cooler Master DPS-750AB-40 D 750W ATX Platinum Power Supply
Storage: 2 NVMe 1TB each
WIFI Card: Yes

Given these specs, can I replace my RX 6650 XT with the RX 7900 XTX reference model from XFX? They say the required PSU is 800W, but mine is 750W Platinum. Mainly, I will be using it to run local LLM for work and light gaming at 1080p.

Pick up an inexpensive Kill-A-Watt (or similar) AC outlet meter, so you will know exactly how much power your system is using.

I have a Silverstone Strider Gold 750W and an AMD reference 7900XT and my draw at the outlet on a full load (100% CPU and GPU) is less than 500W. That's not typical gaming load, that is 100% benchmark load.
