Nvidia transient power spikes are brutal . I have a strix 3070ti in one of my many builds and I've seen that suckered go up to 350 wattplus alone.
That's 60 watts above rated max. If you're in the 500s for your whole system's total power draw, a decent modern 750W PSU shouldn't have any issue at all. Fans, AIOs and ram are generally pretty low power draws. What's DDR4 ram, 3 watts per 8 gigs or so? SSDs are even less. Almost everything is the GPU and CPU.
