Hey!

I'm building a new PC.
This is my build (Not purchased yet) : http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vm8vnn

I have trouble deciding between EVGA Supernova G2 750W (140$) and EVGA Supernova G2 650W (110$)
I know that with this build 650w is plenty but if i buy a gtx 1080 in the future should i buy a 750w now?
I won't SLI.

If i choose 750w, is this overkill?
The PC will turn on?

Thanks in advance :)
 
Well, the GTX 970 and 1080 only require a good quality 500 Watt PSU:

So you're perfectly fine getting the G2 650 Watt, which is a very good Power Supply and one I definitely recommend.

Although, if I do have one critique, I would recommend looking at an RX 480 instead of the GTX 970, it costs $70 less and gives pretty much the same performance.

EDIT: Also, might also want to get G.Skill Series V RAM, if you're spending that much already, might as well get the newest.

Thank you for your answer.

Ok then i'd go with the 650w because i won't SLI with my 970, will prefer buy a highest card.
I chose the gtx 970 because it's noisy less thanks for the advice.

The g.skill series V aren't available in my country :)

 


Gotcha, have fun with the build :)
