Power consumption for a AMD 8 CORE 4K+ and GTX780 TI

[dakzhul]

The title should be pretty self explanatory. I have a gold rated corsair 750w psu that I purchased in preparation for an upgrade to my system. I plan on either placing a 780 or 780ti in my system, as well as a whole new CPU because I currently only have a 4 core 3.0.

Could my gold rated 750w handle such an upgrade to an 8 core 4k with a 780?

Yes.

Easily. Could nearly handle two of those cards.

Even with the upgraded cpu?

This is an example of the type of cpu I am considering.

What makes you think it can't?

If you want the math, I think the TI/Black is rated at 250W. So a 250W GPU, a 125W CPU, and some normal parts in a system comes to 425W. No where near what a 750W PSU can do. You can heavily OC both the CPU and the GPU and still be fine.

Yes it will handle the CPU and a 780 ti

Easily. I had overclocked SLI 670s and an overclocked i7 4770k that were easily below 750w, along with a sound card and wifi adapter.

Thank you everyone. I was very concerned about my psu purchase for a moment there.
Do you think I would still be fine if I bumped the cpu up to the 4770k range?

 

[ahnilated]

Yes, you will be fine and probably in the range of 550 watts max draw.

Thanks for the feedback!
