so i'll be putting together my very first build in the next 2 months and was wondering what would the ideal psu be for a build like mine
Gpu: gtx 1080 ti Oc'd to the gills
Cpu: r5 1600 @3.8 at 1.4v or somethin' stock cooler
Ram:2x8 3000mhz corsair oc'd @ 3200mhz
Mobo: msi b350 pc mate
Case: phanteks p400s
Hdd: 2tb seagate
(eventually) Ssd: 550gb m.2
(eventually) Other: rgb gaming mouse and keyboard, rgb strips and x1 120mm/ x2 140mm fans
i was planning on getting a 550w evga g2 gold+ for the system but then i tought it would be pushing the limits of the psu too much, so i looked around for 650w tier 1 psu's and i came up with my 2 favourites.
a) 650w evga b3 ($68)
5 years warranty, fully modular, braided cables and very well reviewed / only bronze rated and has a pretty bad chinese fan. costs 68€
b) 650w Seasonic focus plus gold (€87)
Comes with a 10 year warranty that oddly enough, does NOT cover usual wear and tear, so is basically useless / fully modular braided cables, amazing capacitators and all the stuff that a seasonic psu is expected to come with, only thing... costs 87€
my real question doe is, do i really need more than 550w?
now, i've done my fair bit of research, but the answer stil isn't that clear. online some swear by the fact that systems don't consume as much as we think, others do not agree and blah blah...
so what should i do? go with the amazing and insanly priced 550w psu? or have a piece of mind getting the 650w's?
and if so which 650w?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
