[SOLVED] MSI RTX 2080 PSU usage ?

[modytamim]

Hi !
I'm trying to build my very first gaming pc
Specs
■ ASUS ROG STRIX 390-F
■ MSI RTX 2080 TRIO
■ INTEL CORE I7-9700K
■ 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz
■ CORSIAR 151I PRO RGB WATER COOLING
■ 2 TB HDD
■ SAMSUNG 970 evo M.2
■ CORSAIR CX 550M 80+
■ NZXT H500i
I looked everything up on YouTube and google and it seems that all the parts are compatible.
I received some yesterday from Amazon and in the RTX box it says that I need 750w psu minimum
Is that true ? I got really confused
Can anyone help ??

I'm seeing they are calling for 650W.

but still....

Plus the CX series....from what I read....is a crap series.

So being you have all these new components....if it were me....I wouldn't trust them to the CX....plus it's low on wattage....so I'd be looking at a new PSU.

Seasonics and Corsair's higher series are good.

I just got from Amazon

well founder edition has 1x8pin and 1x6pin pcie connector which is 225w+150w and +75w from pcie slot, thats 450watts for GPU only
if u get OC edition with 2x 8pin pcie plugs, than it would be 525watts for GPU only
add ~200watts for your CPU and ~50watts for other componnents

edit: checked pcb from msi trio and it has 2x8pin pcie plugs
so that 750watts minimum PSU is real deal here (as long u dont overclock your CPU)

"What psu would you rcomend ? "
I just bought two Corsair RM series I'm happy with.
They aren't top of the line but I think they'll do for what I'm using them for.
Seasonic makes great supplies as well....and as far as I know....they don't have a series that I've heard bad things about.
