Hello everyone,

My specs:

CPU: i7 8700 3.2GHz.
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB G1.
RAM: 16GB (2x8) 2666MHz Team Group T-Force Delta RGB.
MOBO: Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 rev1.0.
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster 212 Black Edition.
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB.
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Black 7200RPM + Seagate 500GB 7200RPM.
PSU: EVGA 650w GD 80+Gold Non-Modular with active PFC.

SO: Windows 10 Pro.
Headset: HyperX Cloud Alpha.
Mouse: Redragon M711.

I've been facing some problems such as Kernel-Power 41 (Black screen and PC rebooting randomly) after I installed a new CPU Cooler.

My question is: Is a EVGA 650w 80+Plus Gold enough for my computer or I should go to 750w?
 
Solution
Nope. 650W is more than enough for this.

the 8700K draws about 86W full load, which we can probably say the 8700 draws less due to lower clock speeds.
The 1060 draws about 200W full load.
The rest of the system will run well under 50W, so the total is about 340W.
