[SOLVED] Best PSU compatible with 3080 and 10700k

[Brownie93]

I'm about to build a new system and I'm not sure what power supply I should be going for. The hardware I'm going to be putting in is:

Mobo- Asus rog strix z490-E gaming
RAM - G Skill Trident 3200 24gb worth (got a broken stick 😡 )
GPU - RTX 3080
CPU - i7 10700k

I was thinking an 850 W Gold fully modular but was wondering if I'll need more. I'd like to possibly overclock as well.

Thanks in advance

The gpu uses 320W and the i710700k uses 170W, 850W is perfect 😀

A great quality 650W PSU will be enough, but you won't have that much room for overclocking and such. 750W will be plenty for your build.

Some nice choices are:

Corsair: RMx, TXM
EVGA: SuperNova G2, G3
Seasonic: Focus GX/GM
SuperFlower: Leadex II/III

I wouldn't go below Tier A considering your build.
