Question Is 750 W psu is overkill on this build? I was thinking of cutting some cost.

The power supply here is listed for $70 I don't know what you have to pay but going cheaper on your power supply is not a wise move. Its the engine if you will of your build and it allows you to upgrade later if need be. Your build seems like it is nicely set up. If you have to cut some costs I would look elsewhere for savings. Imho.

Yes it is. I would get a 550-650 watt PSU and of better quality, something like a Seasonic FOCUS Gold, EVGA G2 or G3, or a Corsair TX series.

The CX is a budget model PSU, although not bad there are better options.

A 650w PSU is actually ideal for this build. It means you will often operate somewhere in or near the sweetspot of efficiency and have loads of headroom to OC.

Hes trying to save money all those are more.

You could run that on a CX450M with no problem. The CX450M is a decent quality unit for the price.

That said if you want to overclock you want something better. Wattage has NOTHING to do with quality. Get yourself a Seasonic Focus 550 or an EVGA 550G3, better 550w is way more than enough, and both are good quality for overclocking.

The 750w CX750M is no better quality than the CX450M or 550M he could save money since that wattage is absurdly high. That said if he wants to overclock he needs to make a choice here, save money or buy quality.

Seasonic Focus Gold 550.
Don't save on PSU quality AND You don't need 750W.
Good quality PSU with 550W-650W should run 99% of home systems based on single GPU.

Corsair Power Supplies, TX650M 650W CP-9020132-NA
This one is a bit costlier but after reading your replies I guess this one would be ideal?

 

[Rogue Leader]

So after reading your comments I guess 650 w bronze would be enough?
I have selected this one how's it?
Corsair CX CP-9020103-NA Semi-Modular 80 Plus Bronze 650W

This one is ok, but.

Buy this one (TX550M)

Or the TX650M can't hurt, but its more than you need and more than you need to spend.

I guess 650 w would leave some space for future upgrades as well 🤔

 

[arjitsawhney]

I have one more doudt does it make any sense to add two fans on top instead one but one facing upwards and one facing downward. I want to keep positive air pressure at all times since it's very dusty where I live.

 

[captaincharisma]

well off the bat you can save some cost by getting fans that do not have RGB lighting

4 fans are with case and other fan I am adding is not very pricey in local market here.

 

[gasaraki]

I wouldn't cut the budget from a $70 PSU. If you want to save money, get RAM without lights.

Oh god please no. if you want positive pressure lower the spin of the rear exhaust and increase the fan speed of the front fans. OR make the back fan an intake fan.

550w is enough for up to a GTX 1080 (or RTX 2080), 650w gives some cushion sure if you can afford it, then you're not doing anything bad. However your concern was price hence my recommendations.

I have one more doudt does it make any sense to add two fans on top instead one but one facing upwards and one facing downward. I want to keep positive air pressure at all times since it's very dusty where I live.

DO NOT put 2 fans next to eachother doing opposite things. It will ruin your airflow.

That case has 3 front fans, have them taking air in, and then 1 rear fan should be exhausting. Thats all you need for positive pressure..

I'd go for an Antec quality level, Bronze or Silver standard 550W or 600W -as this will save you money too, also there's a huge fight over positive Vs negative pressure within the case, I personally go for Negative pressure as Physics wise a vacuum is easier to cool than a compressed area. So some fans at the front of the PC Case pulling air in & with the fans correctly orientated @ the Back & Top [as air rises] - pushing air out of the PC Case ..also My Nvidia GTX780 & GTX1070 both have Titan Cooler's -which exhausts a lot of the heat from the GPU straight out of the back too, which means less PC Case heat to negate. goodluck.. 0range.

I run a negative pressure case (the case is actually designed for it too) and it works great, however the OP says he is in a dusty environment, in that case Positive is always the best route.

 

[0rangeC0astalGetaway]

I get it Rogue -but that's why a lot of modern PC Cases have easy to remove & clean dust filters. I live in a house with 3 Cats & 2 Oomans I control where the air/dust goes -so its easier to clean up. personal choice as I said. [ps I used to make my own dust filters & sound proofing pre-dust & sound aware pc case manufacturers] 0range.
