Here's the current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RsxwQq
I might plan on adding a second MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB GAMING X Video Card in the future for another 2 - 4 monitors so I'll want a PSU that can handle that extra load if I decide to do so (I want to see how working with 4 monitors is first because I suspect more than that would deliver diminishing returns for me). I'm using the system for day trading rather than gaming so I don't think I'll need to overclock -- just need to smoothly/concurrently run multiple spreadsheet, charting, broker, browser windows, and stock research software.
I realize it might be better for me to get a PSU for this particular setup, and then consider updating the PSU at the time I add the second graphics card for the extra monitor too (because I heard that going overkill on power can actually hurt the performance of a system that doesn't need the extra power).
I'll be adding a wired keyboard, mouse, integrated wi-fi/bluetooth card (not sure if I need this yet or not), and an external power supply to the system too in case of brownouts.
So if I left it with just one graphics card, what would be a good PSU wattage to aim for?
What if I added the second graphics card?
Also, would it be better to get a PSU assuming 1 graphics card and then upgrade the PSU later if I get a 2nd card? Or would it be best to get a stronger PSU now for a later possible upgrade to 2 graphics cards (even though I may never make that upgrade)?
Thanks ahead of time for responding!
