What kind of psu you got?

What kind of psu you got?

HP switching power supply.
model ps-6301-07
300w max

well upgrade to a minimum 450W 80+ psu, it would maximize the permormance as you dont have to worry abt the headroom in the psu.

does it mater what kind of psu, make or model as long as it's 450w+?

 

[Koekieezz]

Well 80+ and above certified PSU does make a good supply in delivering power to your board, im pretty sure your GTX 1060 would be saturated enough after upgrading the psu.

will have to get these things one after the other. PC gaming is an expensive hobby.
I7 770
Hyper 212 evo (heat sync)
450w+ PSU

update graphics card some time after these lol. going to be an expensive couple of months haha.

80+ certification can mean absolutely nothing.

"80 Plus (trademarked 80 PLUS) is a voluntary certification program intended to promote efficient energy use in computer power supply units (PSUs). ... Such PSUs waste 20% or less electric energy as heat at the specified load levels, reducing electricity use and bills compared to less efficient PSUs "

That says nothing about quality.

A Quality PSU is key. The PSU is the backbone of any system and needs to be given serious consideration.

Yes but why would ya? Well of course performance increase a little bit, but if you aint overclockin so stick with i7 7700.

you cant, you must use intel 300 series chipset motherboard, such as H310 Motherboard if you're not overclocking, i recommendyou to get a Z390 Motherboard so you could unlock the multipliers for overclocking.

So i need to send it back? Like i said i did purchade it by accident. Next time i need to double check that its an i7-7700

Just on a side note the i7-7900k uses a LGA 1151

You could see it clear its i7 9700K, not 7900K. 7900X is i9 7th gen.
