[SOLVED] Seasonic Focus 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular - FOCUS-GX-850

[IJRI]

Hello,
Ok thinking to go with this PSU for my new build I know its a 2017 PSU and I don't know if it works well with what I am building..

I already got this:

MSI Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR5
GSKILL DDR5 TRIDENT Z5 CL36 6000Mhz
INTEL I9 12900K
SEAGATE FIRECUDA 530 M.2 1TB
MSI GTX 1070ti

I did not decide about the case and the water cooler yet. Ty

What video card? CPU and GPU are the two biggest users of the PSU. We need to know which GPU to help you decide on size. The Focus might be from 5yr ago, but it's still an ok PSU.

Forgot to mention it sorry, ill use my GTX 1070ti for now but will upgrade later to RTX 3080ti at least.

PSU is fine, 850w is plenty and you have to love the 10 year warranty,

What cooler are you now using?

Unless you will use the processor for heavy multithreaded apps, there will no need for overclocking and maximum cooling.

In a good, well ventilated case a top air cooler will serve.
If you want better, plan on a 360 size aio

I guess ill go with the Lian Li Lancool 2 case and thinking to go with MSI MAG Coreliquid 360R V2 ARGB - 306-7ZW1C41-813 but i have not decided yet I need to see more reviews about these 2 but the PSU will be this one for sure. Ty

OCing? Upgrading to those crazy PCIe 5.0 cards? 850W seems like a bit much to me, but it will work just fine. You can drop down to the 750W and be ok. Unless you are OCing.

 

[IJRI]

yes there will be some ocing in the future. Ty

850W is a good one to get. There are newer and better units out there. But that one will work just fine.

What would those newer and better units be?
And do you mean from seasonic or other brands?

Seasonic does make better units. Other companies do as well. The core series are their basic 80+ gold units. They have better gold and above units. I run a lower wattage Core series unit myself. There is nothing wrong with them. Just a matter of how much you want to spend.
