[SOLVED] What size power supply should I get?

[javiermaggio]

I have an 8700k and a Zotac 2080. I eventually want to get another 2080 because of the NVLink with the new cards. I'm wondering if I should get a 750w or a 850w. There is some Thermaltake psu on sale on newegg right now so I want to get it. Is 750 enough or should I play it safe and get the 850?

I think 750W is enough. NVidia specs out 650W for a PSu for the RTX 2080.
Although I wouldn't trust my new RTX 2080 to a Thermaltake (not knowing the model).
I would be buying a Seasonic or a higher end Corsair series.

As long as that Thermaltake is a gold rated toughpower grand, and is a good deal, it is ok. Any other thermaltake, I would avoid. Evga G2/G3 750 would be my pick, though.

I'll suggest this because...
I currently own 3 (two 750s and a 1000) and they are all running fine.

Here is the G3. I run a G2 myself.

So the 750 is going to be fine then I take it?

 

[jay32267]

I think a 750W will be fine as long as it's a quality PSU.
