Howdy folks!
I'm looking to upgrade my GPU soon and curious if I'll need a PSU upgrade. I just built this rig in March, so the PSU is new. I'm looking to add either a GTX 1080 TI or RTX 2080, yet to be decided. However, I used Cooler Master's Power Calculator and am somewhat confused on the results. (Note: I used a GTX 1080 TI as the GPU in the calculations, not the 1060 which I currently have)
It shows that my load wattage is 513 watts and that the recommended minimum PSU wattage be 563 watts. Then, it shows a recommended PSU which is 750 watts.
Is there a good reason to have an extra ~200 watts available? Can I get by with an upgrade and keep my 650watt PSU?
Here is a full list of the components in my rig, along with all peripherals.
