PSU and GPU questions 7010 i5 13th gen MT+
I am UK based and parts seem to be very hard to get.
I think I need to upgrade to a 500w PSU to run a second hand RTX 3060 TI card which I can source online.
Buying the PSU is another matter. I think I have a found one I can ship from China. A TPX56.
Can anyone confirm if my PC will accept these two upgrades?
Is there a PSU I can buy locally?
Many thanks.

Possibly relevant: this is to speed up Lightroom Denoise AI, I am not a gamer.

Do you / anyone happen to know if the TPX56 would have the spare cables to actually power the card?
