Hello everyone,

I'm planning to build a PC, I want to overclock it but I don't know if the PSU that I've picked is good enough.

Specs for the build:

Cpu: I3-8100
Mobo: Gigabyte Z370-P (The cheapest Z370 mobo atm, Í'm going to be building this PC after Black Friday. I might get a B370 mobo instead.)
RAM: G.Skill DDR4 3200 2x4GB modules (cas 15)
SSD: Intenso 120GB
Hard Drive: Seagate 7200rpm 2tb
Videocard: Geforce Gtx 1060 6gb MSI X version (this is the part that I want to overclock!)
Case: BitFenix Nova (with glass side panel)
PSU: The most important part... I picked a SeaSonic S12II 620watt bronze unit.. Is it good enough for overclocking the Gtx 1060 6gb x?

Thanks for helping!

*NOTE: I live in Germany.

PSU Budget: €65 MAX

 
Solution
Yes SeaSonic S12II 620watt is a decent one for your setup. But you can still save some money in ram. Select 2400 ram and try to buy at least 16GB. No need to buy 3200 Mhz.

Agreeing with AniChatt here. Faster RAM only makes sense on AMD Ryzen systems. On Intel systems, slower RAM won't make much of a difference, unless you use the intergrated graphics of the CPU, but you're using a GTX 1060 anyway.
