Thx 4 your time!

 


nice build. bit overkill on the PSU,
 
Could power that pc from a Corsair CXM 450W and have no issues. The RMx 650w is an excellent choice, one of the best in its range, but you'll pay a premium for it. Could save some money with a decent 550w like Seasonic Focus or Corsair TXM and still not break a sweat.

The RMx is really for those pushing a i7-8700k with OC and a gtx1080ti
 
Thx guys

My TDP at 90% load is at 324W so I went with some more headroom for future improvements (as I'm sure you know that PSUs are most efficient when not on full load), I do not intend to buy a new PSU anytime soon
You're correct that a 450W psu would be sufficient but it could give me problems when upgrading in the future

build is for gaming at 60fps min and some light work related stuff (nothing of high demand on the system), I want it to be superfast for daily tasks and rock steady at 60fps in today's games and in most games in the foreseeable future
