I currently have a Ryzen 5 8600g and a MSI mag ab650n PSU, what's the best GPU I can buy without the risk of burning my house down?

9070 XT should work. 9070 or 5070 are the save bet.

9070xt/5070ti should work just fine, even better if undervolted

9070 uses noticeable less power than a 9070 XT. Also a good choice considering power limitations.

I mean yeah that would probably be the better choice but guy asked about the best GPU he can get, not the best price in performance, a 650w is capable of running a 9070xt just fine (assuming is a 280-300W one and not a red devil) with that cpu, undervolting is also an option and lower the power draw even more

A 9060 XT at best. You would you need at least 800 for a 9070 XT.

I'm on a 750w with 9070xt and 5800x3d, none of the two undervolted, a 650w will be fine

9070 non XT usually slots in pretty nice here

I’m running a higher draw CPU (5800X) and a high power limit 9070 XT (Red Devil, 330W board power) on 750W and it’s fine.

650W would be fine with an 8600G assuming it has enough 8 pin connections.

5070/9070

If PSU is good quality, maybe the ti/xt versions.. but best 750+ for them

first throw to garbage 8600g and buy 7500f or better , for gpu buy 9070 best price/perf.

For a 650W PSU:

RX 9060XT

RTX 4060/5060/ti

ARC B580

Anything much else than this is going to be more thirsty than your PSU can handle.

couldnt help you other than suggesting you just spend the money for a higher W PSU. I would say 850 or higher. then you'll never have to make a post like this again

Why? They already have the 650W. Why spend $100 when they can already run most options with just a bit of research?

I understand suggesting upsizing on new builds but when it’s installed already there is value in seeing what fits in the headroom you have. With a low TDP CPU they can run basically anything.

What resolution do you game on?
