Prices? What are they powering? Some details would be nice.

 

[Mikic]

Hi all

both PSU are around 200 eur each (kinda ripoff but cant get better price)

about powering
Z390 DESIGNARE
i9 9900k
GeForce RTX™ 2060 GAMING OC 6G
COOLER MASTER MasterLiquid ML360R
16gb ram 2666 (2x8)
Samsung 970 EVO 500GB - NVMe
3-4 Sata HD for storage
case... thermaltake a500

i was thinking maybe in future to add Sli etc.. not sure
Thanks

The 2060 doesn't do sli.

 

[Mikic]

in future will add one 2080... or two
2060 will go to my older pc

i just notice there is a
Corsair HX850i PSU, CP-9020073-EU, PSU 850W
kinda 250 eur...

Why the 9900k with a 2060? Are smaller psu cheaper? You don't need an 850w for that setup. More so if you stay with the 2060.

 

[Mikic]

not planing to stay on 2060... just $ was a limit for now

 

[4745454b]

A 9900 and 2080 doesn't need 850w either. (Though it's not a bad idea to get that if you are OCing.) Your system choices seem to be a bit scattered. Have you bought all this already?

 

[Mikic]

yes i got all except case .... waiting for distributor
also COOLER MASTER MasterLiquid ML360R was out of stock
and i replaced it with kraken x72

Seeing as the 2060 doesn't SLI, I wouldn't have bought it as a placeholder card. If you have another pc to move it to that's cool. Under gaming load your system is going to pull around 500W stock. A good 650 or a 750 will work fine. 850 is really only needed for heavy OCing. I mention all this because you seem to be worried about cost. Or else you have have bought all this already. Yes, a seasonic platinum is better than a CM gold. This shouldn't surprise anyone. You still haven't said prices so I'm not sure it's really worth it. I can't imagine spending 250 anything on a psu but I'm in the USA so my prices aren't the same as yours. I suspect the cheaper one will be fine. But I'd also get a better 650 or 750W.

yes i have old PC i7 cpu with old GC 580gtx
and i plan to add the 2060 in that and get me 2080 or 2 x 2080
i am not worried about cost.... i just don't have cash right now to get me 2080
