Would a 550W EVGA GOLD+ RATED G2 PSU Run My System?

[Jordan08041997]

I will be running a overclocked i5-6600k and a overclocked MSI Gaming X 1070 would this PSU run my system

you might wanna get a 750w psu but a 550w will work fine.

Nope, that is entirely unnecessary. His rig without overclocking won't reach 300W. With overclocking, it should be around 400W. With that, gaming load is always lower, and the 550 G2 will have efficiency near the sweet spot for his system. A 750W unit is counter-productive because it costs more and is less efficient, so it's all just losing money.

Best Answer unselected. My mistake. I went to vote down and I somehow hit to select BA? IDK what happened. My fault entirely. Sorry

He doesn't need an Arc Reactor to power a computer. 550 even is a little overkill. Although I can understand it if he intends to overclock.
