Question does a psu wattage account for transient load spikes, & will a 650 be enough for this build?

this is my current part list, is an A tier 650 gold rated power supply?

 

[COLGeek]

Yes and yes.

 

[muthgh]

Yes and yes.

people on reddit are making me doubt that it'd be enough, saying to get at least a 70 or a 850, is it really safe to run this close to the wattage?

 

[digitalgriffin]

Yes and yes.

+1

General rule of thumbs says run no more than 80% steady state average. But even Nvidia species a 550W as being enough for the 3060. And they put a comfortable headroom in there. As long as it's a decent quality supply you should no have issues.

Your spinners don't consume more than a couple watts each.

Which "650" PSU, specifically?

Yes it's 'safe' - maybe not the most efficient, but 'safe'. UNLESS you play on frequently (not rarely) running every component at 100% power-draw, you won't even come close to the ~582W listed.

Assuming you're not overclocking the snot out of the 14700K, of course - but the AG620 ensures that's not happening.

They are wrong. More headroom helps with future upgrades, but not required per your original questions.

Your PSU will do just fine, if you worry about the quality of the energy that goes into your power supply, i would suggest a UPS.
May i ask what all those HDD's are for? Just curious

just old ones from my dead pc, it had a X99A-MPOWER, which had 10 SATA ports, so whenever I ran out of space, I would buy a new one, but the new mb can only take 4 sadly xD

Sounds like a good reason (if you really need all the stuff on them) to setup a separate system as a file server. Can be done for very little cost and allows your new rig to be free from all the clutter.
