Solution RobCrezz Oct 18, 2018 I would get a better PSU, the VS Series is really the budget end of the Corsair range, really not designed for this.

Normally, I'd say 650W is plenty, but, as Rob says, the VS series from Corsair is not exactly a high quality unit. Seasonic would be my first choice for a PSU. Upvote 1 Downvote
