[SOLVED] Which PSU for this 5950x build?

[fobos8]

Hi guys

By build is a Ryzen 5950x, 1660ti GPU (may upgrade to a 2080 gtx in the future), MSI Meg Unify x570, 3 x M.2, 4 x HDD, NH-D15 fan, 2 x 140mm fans, 2 x 120mm fans.

What PSU would be good for this build? Would a 750 watt unit be enough or would 850 watt be better?

Kind regards, Andrew

Is this system gonna be used for workstation stuff or for gaming or both?

The system is a just used for work. I use it for core intensive data processing.

Go for it blindly.
It's the best in the market considering the fact that you would upgrade your GPU. This is the very best !!!
PS: Go with RTX 3080 if you have the budget or go with RTX 3070.
Why buy rtx 2080 now ?

Isn't a 1000 watts over the top for this rig?

Yes. Your system with a 2080 is around 500 watts. A corsair RM750X is more than enough. Sometime I see the 850 very close in price to the 750. If it's the case i'd get the 850.

He said that he plans to upgrade his gpu later on !!

So i think he needs atleast 850 watts for rtx 3080

My system is currently 1660ti. I may upgrade to a 2080 - I have no intention at all to get a rtx 3080.

My brother has a spare 750 watt RM750x.

Surely that is enough?
