Any notes from the experts as to which GPUs are best supported by this 750W power supply? Though this would be CPU dependent, I would generally guess that the 4070 (non-Ti) or 3070 Ti are the general top end without accounting more specifically for the CPU.
I do see a reference from MSI here [msi.com].
Good luck!

Newer GPUs use less power than the previous generations have, which is something to keep in mind. A 4070 is going to pull 200 watt in gaming, 230 watts max with a power spike [techpowerup.com] (ymmv depending on brand). Meanwhile, a 3070 Ti will reach 250 watts [techpowerup.com].
But you're right, it does depend on what CPU you have and you overall total system wattage. That's why a tool like the EVGA Power-Meter is a nice way to check how much wattage you need: https://www.evga.com/power-meter/
A lower end CPU like the Ryzen 5 7600 is about half the price. The graphics performance is... much lower than the 8700G. But for eSports or other functions which don't demand a dedicated graphics card the Ryzen 5 7600 is a powerful, efficient option.
Good luck!
