[eddy.perez]

Hey thanks for even checking this out Im upgrading my pc soon and Im wondering if 550w is enough to power an i7 8700k (without oc), and a 1070. Thanks

While it is enough, if you wanted to overclock the cpu and gpu and maybe put in a custom loop to cool it you'd be better sorted with a 650w what psu are you looking at?

If you didn't purchase the power supply yet, i'd suggest a 650w or higher. This recommendation is only to allow for additional overhead for future graphics card upgrades. For your existing build the 550w will be adequate.
