750 W seems like overkill for a 5600x + 6700XT.

(Author) Probably is, but hopefully not far from the sweet spot in efficiency for the power supply. I didn't mention it, but my preferred GPU would be a 6800XT, which this should easily cover too. Also, it doesn't run the fan at low loads, so even quieter for light desktop usage.

Efficiency is highest around 50% of load usually.
