[SOLVED] Choosing new PSU for RTX 2080 ti

[ferdi.schmitz99]

Hi,
I'm currently trying to upgrade my system and was able to buy an RTX 2080 ti for a good price. I am upgrading from a GTX 1080 and will also install a Kraken G12 with a single
140mm Fan AIO on the 2080 ti as it has a blower style cooler that I don't like. Now I am considering to upgrade from my 650W Power supply to 750W
as the 650W already has 5 Years of intensive use behind it. The PSU Calculators all spit out different Numbers between 550W and 650W for base use,
but I also intend to overclock the 2080 ti a little.

My System:
i7 4790 with air cooler
ASUS H97 PRO
GTX 1080 with Kraken G12 and NZXT Kraken X42 AIO (OC to 2GHz while Gaming,+500 MHzMemoryOC)
4x 4GB DDR3 RAM (1600MHz)
2x SATA SSD
2x >1TB 5400 RPM SATA HDD
3x 120mm Case Fan
1x 140mm Fan (for AIO)
A bunch of USB devices (Mouse, Keyboard, Mic, Heaphones, USB Hub, Gamepad [all Ports used up])

As soon as I can get one, I want to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600X (or maybe wait for Intel but we'll see) with a B550 Motherboard and fast DDR4 RAM.

The question is: Is a 750W Power Supply overkill for that System if I only want to overclock the GPU and later upgrade to a 5600x or could it even be lacking the overhead I need?

Thanks in Advance

It is definitely not overkill at all.I recommend 800 watts at minimum if you are going to oc. If you want me to help you pick one out i can.

Care to tell us what PSU exactly ?

Haven't decided yet. I thought about buying one from Seasonic. Maybe the 750W or 850W Seasonic FOCUS Plus Gold.

Help with choosing one would be nice. I wouldn't even OC that much. At most about 200MHz to the GPU and for Graphics Memory I have to research a little more. I am considering the 750W or 850W Seasonic FOCUS Plus Gold.

I'm talking about your old one.

I'm talking about your old one.

It's a 650W Seasonic G-Series 80+ Gold

Well, while i think it's still okay, i see that you're probably inclined to swap it because it just went out of warranty period, understandable. So you're from Germany ? Take a look at these :

A good 750w PSU will be fine with a 2080 Ti,

My 8700k is OC to 5.1 all core 24/7 and my 2080 Ti can do +120 core +1300 memory without issues on an EVGA 750w G3.
