Aurora R7, RTX 3070 PSU upgrade help
I am not very good with computers, so a while ago I bought a 3070 not knowing I needed a PSU upgrade. Now looking to get said upgrade and can't really find any definitive "this will work" PSU's. I don't want to buy a PSU and it not work, so would anyone know any PSU's that would work in an Aurora R7? Thank you in advance.

What PSU do you currently have, and does the card actually fit inside the case?

Any ATX format PSU will fit in the swing-out PSU contraption. You should consider a PSU that is fully modular and 140mm - 150mm long . . . any longer will eat into your cable management space. Make sure there is an EPS 8-pin (4+4) for CPU power and another EPS 8-pin for the motherboard GPU_POWER header. This is a listing from pcpartpicker of fully modular ATX format power supplies between 750 watts and 850 watts and 140mm - 150mm long. Get zip ties for the extra cable lengths.

Currently have the one that comes with the Aurora R7, believe its 450w(?), can confirm that card fits in the case though.
EDIT: replied to the wrong person here, rarely use forums so my bad...
