Is 600 Watt enough?

[Branco Retlaw]

Hey guys,

I got a question, Is 600 Watt enough for my system?

GTX 1080 TI
i7 6700K
1 HDD
1 SDD
Asus Maximus Ranger Motherboard
2x4 GB Ram
Coolermaster hyper 212 evo
Several Razer pheriperals

I hope someone can help me out

Your power requirement for that build is somewhere around 450w to 500w. So 600w should be enough for the build. But then, just any 600w watt cannot justify that build or its requirement. Has to be an efficient and quality one.
Do you already have one or are you eyeing on one??? If you have then wats the brand/make/model/variant???

A good 600w unit would be enough, a poor 600w unit could you leave you with a smoking brick.

I got the b600 Coolermaster, Not the best one out there

Personally I wouldn't run a $700 gpu on a budget cooler master psu.

Well...then its time to get a better one. That is really low quality. You dont want your expensive hardwares go up in flames.
Get something quality like a Corsair RMx/RMi, Seasonic S12II/M12, EVGA Supernova G2/P2/T2/GS/X.

You can use these as loose reference...

But when i buy a GTX 1080, Will that be okay then?

You dont understand the point. The wattage is fine. But the quality of the unit is not good. You put unrefined fuel in your supercar, it will still run. But its not recommended. Basically with that kind of psu, you take a risk. And if it damages any other component, you cannot complain.
