Hey there fellow computer enthusiasts,
After years of buying pre assembled computers of the shelf I finally decided to build my own Rig. I will be using it mostly for FSX and some other games, but mainly FSX. I went ahead and bought all the components except for the PSU and OS.
I already assembled everything so, I can't really exchange any parts.
I was wondering although what PSU I should get; initially I wanted to go for a corsair ax860 (non-i) PSU, but after looking at the power consumption specifications of my hardware I'm not sure wether 860W is overkill.
Does anyone have any suggestion to what PSU I should get? Preferably modular, efficiency rating doesn't matter. Price wise, it doesn't matter either I just don't want to throw money away on wattage ill never use.
Here is my components list:
Intel core I7 4790k
gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H
8gb Corsair vengeance (2x4gb) DDR3 1600Mhz
Corsair H100i
Seagate barracuda 1TB 7200Rpm SATA
Samsung 840 120gb (for OS)
6x 120mm fans including 2x120mm from the H100i
Evga Gtx 650ti boost 2gb ( looking to replace that with a Gtx 980 in the near future)
I think that wraps it up, I am going to be running W7 because well, FSX runs best on that.
I honestly don't know what I should get for a PSU!
Any help is appreciated !
Thanks in advance,
