Will 850 Watts be enough for my build?

[Dylan Dunn]

I've been working on a build for my future computer build *Which i'm getting in due time* and so far everything seems to be good except the power draw, Part pickers states i'll need a power supply over 744w to supply my beast of a computer, and I was wondering if anyone knows what would be a good Power supply to buy so there won't any issues.

My build is here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8ftLgs *It's quite alot, but i'm sure i'll shrink down the price over time til I can buy it.*

Hi Dylan, it can be done with 850 watts but a little more headroom never hurts. EVGA 1000 G2 or 1050 GS would be great for that system.

Yes 850 should be fine. Here is your build with a few changes (including the PSU):
