PSU for 1070, 650 or 750watt

[wilkmorbey]

Am choosing between the 650 or 750 watt EVGA G2 power supply. Don't know which one to get...
My build is http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LxkhgLand a 1070 FTW.

Anyone got any recommendations, would probably be overclocking GPU too

650w is more than you need. plenty for a 1070 and some

The 750watt is only £14 more tho, is it worth it??

Is what I would buy.

If you already have the 750 G2 keep it great choice , I also love the RMX series from Corsair. ​

I'll mix the two suggestions above.
RMx 650 is more than you ever going to need with this card under any overclock

 

[wilkmorbey]

Thanks for that suggestion but I have custom cables for the G2 power supply, I have an 850 watt EVGA GS power supply at the moment but the cables don't fit so changing to the G2, but wondering which watt would be best

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

If you ever wanted to SLI 1070's the 750w would be the ticket.

You can't lose with your two choices Super Flower makes great power supplies for EVGA.

 

[n0ns3ns3]

well, for a single card 650 is the way to go.
and for the SLI, 750 will be working at high % of capacity.
so even though it's "just 14 euro", why to waste them

 

[wilkmorbey]

Thanks for all responses, will get the 650 watt!

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I always get extra power , my personal preference.
