Hi!

So, I am thinking about building this PC whith an i7 6700K, a Gigabyte Z170N Gaming 5 mITX motherboard and a GTX 1070 FE, and about two months ago a guy on Tom's Hardware told me the best PSU for the 1070 (that requires a min. 500W PSU) is the EVGA SuperNOVA 550W, BUT I did not have OCing in ming. Now that I have, what would be the best PSU? Should I go for the 650W version of the EVGA?
 
Solution
The 550W would do the job - component quality and ripple suppression are more important than having an amount of power available that you will never come close to using.
