Hi everybody-
So I'm building a new rig and was wondering if a 550W PSU is going to be enough for it/future-proof.
Here are the specs:
Intel i7-3770k CPU (I know it's not out yet; I'm waiting for it)
Mobo TBD (waiting for the Z77s)
DVD-RW
1x HDD
1x SSD
4 x 4 GB DIMM
That's it for now. I plan on adding a discrete GPU eventually, but for now, I don't really need it/can't afford it. That's why I'm waiting for IVB. When I do, it'll probably be something like a Radeon HD 6870. It's pretty unlikely that I'll be running a dual GPU setup.
The other consideration is overclocking. Is 550W going to give me enough room to overclock the crap out of the CPU/RAM? I may add a water-cooling option later on if I really get into video editing.
Thanks!
