[SOLVED] PSU replacement - Which to get 750W or 850W?

[khaled_82]

Hello Community,

My current system is a outdated but good enough for me

System:

GIGABYTE X58A-UD7 motherboard
i7-980x (12M Cache, 3.33 GHz ) CPU
GTX 980 Ti 6GB GPU
16GB DDR3 G.Skill 2133 memory
Asus PCE-AC68 Wireless AC adaptor
Combo DVD-R/CD-R Drive
Combo BluRay Burner/DVD/CR Drive
USB Card Reader

regular USB ports used by various devices (Razer gamepad, Razer mouse, Razer keyboard, Razer headset, PS3 Eye, and audio).

Nothing is overclocked and won't be.

So which to get 750W or 850W?

Your system consumes well below 750W.
Is there a reason for 750W/850W?
Maybe a GPU upgrade?
You will need a good psu.
Something from Corsair, Seasonic or EVGA.
Budget?

Will a 650W be sufficient

No

Maybe a GPU upgrade?

No

Budget?

$200

Yes, a good 650W psu will be good.
Something like this:

Depends on the prices where you live. If the 850 is about the same price why not.
I always get more than I need to cover future upgrades.

650 W is already plenty, 750/850 makes sense only for single Ampere/Vega LC cards or dual GPU setups. Unless it's like a $10 difference then you better save the money.

Rmx is an excellent unit, 650w is plenty for your computer.

Also, nice computer. Always interesting to see people still using x58 in modern day.
