Is this enough wattage?

[Brian_99]

Hello,

I am looking for what wattage I should get to future proof my rig. Will 1000W be enough to run 2 nividia titan x and an intel i7 6700k cpu? Let me know if any more information is needed.

If you are talking about the new Titan X cards, I understand that they have a draw at peak of 250 Watts. So that should leave you with more than sufficient wattage to deal with the rest of your system ^^

OF course without knowing the rest of the spec that's as good as I can give ^^ The motherboard will draw power the CPU too, but they'll not consume anything near the remaining 500 watts

Yes 1000 Watts will be an overkill....

Here is a chart for various options.
It assumes a normal complement of cpu and peripherals.
850w should be sufficient.
I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.
