How much wattage for this build?

[OllieBarrie]

Can anyone say how much wattage I would need for this build?

The CPU will be OC'd to 4.6Ghz.

 

Thanks

650w+ (ideally 750w+)

 

for two-way SLI 850w+ is usually ideal as it leaves you a bit of headroom, but with the 900 series and their high efficiency, 750w is enough. However, will future gpus be as efficient? maybe...maybe not.

the rig will consume about 600W, so 750W should be a nice sweetspot

You sure on the peripherals? Razer have quite a bad reputation ....

Thanks. Will the RM750W from Corsair be adequate? And also, how easy it is to replace a PSU, in case in the future I would need more power?

Yes. Linus gave the Blackwidow keyboard a really good review and the same with the mouse, I will most likely get the Chroma version of the keyboard and Linus said the keys are very close to Cherry MX Blues.

You unplug all the wires and rewire the new ones. Done. Esay. The hardest part is re-cable managing. 

 

Get the EVGA G2-750w. It's cheaper and better than the RM750.

Yes, but Razer products have a tendency to crap out over time -- something Linus can't really test.

This seems to be the forum fav for a 750w PSU atm http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017 And no different than replacing any other part. Unconnect cables, remove box, put new box in place, reconnect cables.

the Corsair RM750 is a really good choice here. Also removing a powersupply is as easy as it sounds: unplugging the power cables, uncrewing the 4 psu screws

Fair enough haha. I thought that sounded too easy.

Razer products also have positive reviews on Amazon in which people have had them for months.

So buy it then. Just don't be surprised if it craps out on you.

There's not many other options in the UK, tbh. Ducky Shine 3 isn't available here, Corsair products are on the minimum and there's some weird off-brand mechanical keyboards which look far more likely to crap out.

650 or 750 and get a 80+ gold either semi modular or fully modular

Corsair 860i would be the ideal choice for this build as it gives you room for upgrades in the future. 

 

It would also match ur build perfectly color wise since it has the red AX letters on the front sticker - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139041

 

 The other guys here are giving you recommendations with a "budget" and "best bang for the buck" in mind and based on your build it is clear that you're going all out so I'd say the 860i is by far your best option not to mention it  also has a Platinum rating. 

 

edit: I also highly recommend these extensions if you want your build to look amazing - http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l2/g2/c587/list/p1/Cables-ModSmart_Kobra_MAX_Cables.html  http://i.imgur.com/bhM50mS.jpg

BOOB

I would honestly suggest the new g710 (with cherry mx blues) coming out soon, it should be slightly more expensive than the blackwidow and hell yeah does it last a long time and feel sturdy (i have a g710+ and i am giving you my personal experience). I had friends who had blackwidows crapping out on them... But the choice really is up to you
