Recommended power supply for i5 8600k and gtx 1060 6gb asus strix

I’ve thought about getting this power supply for my build, I have the parts above and also 8gbs of ram, looking to overclock as well, this is the psu I was talking about https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/evga/bq-80-plus-bronze-650w/ thank you in advance

That's a cheap model, I would get a better one.

Would 550w be enough for that setup you think?

At stock settings your system will use less than 300W. Will probably be close to 250W while gaming. You said you want to OC and that makes a lot of uncertainty. Mild OC will probably reach the 300W area, while heavy OC on both the CPU and GPU could hit even more. I don't think you'd cross 400W OCing both however.

I agree that the unit you linked is a bit weak. More so if you are planning on OCing right off the bat. The 550W seasonic that was linked would be fine.

Prefer Corsair myself, and here's a fully modular, 80+ Gold, 550W PSU - https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/corsair/rmx-series-rm550x-2018-80-plus-gold-550w/

(versus a semi-modular Bronze)

Even with overclocking, that system won't draw much more than 300-400W. Slightly more expensive, but more efficient, and it has a zero rpm fan mode.

The corsair unit is a solid power supply but the Seasonic is better and cheaper.

Plus some Corsair units are made by Seasonic anyway.

 

[camieabz]

Corsair slightly more quiet. Seasonic slightly more efficient. About a quid of difference ( ).

 

[crisanabrudanalex]

So should I go for the seasonic then?

And also, if I upgrade to the 1070 sometime soon, will that psu still be enough?

 

[bmockeg]

That PSU will be enough for even a 1080ti. The Seasonic is a platinum, even better than the golds.

I recommend going for a 650 watts if u ever want to upgrade your pc
