Power Consumption Question

[bty0610]

Is 750 watts to much power? Could I go for 600 watts instead?

A good 550watt psu would be enough, 600watts+ is more than enough.

So 600 and 500 is good enough for overclocking?

OC'ing one component, maybe 550W. Both CPU and GPU, I'd stay with 600W. Minimum. If you plan on pushing that system, keep the 750W Corsair and you will always know you have plenty of headroom.

I just plan on doing basic over clocking, not wanting to push my system to far. But I would like to push it so I could get overall better performance. So I will be getting a 600W. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
