Remember to follow your threads and quote other members :D

 

It should be enough, but i personally would feel a lot better with a 850W :D

 

It also depends on what brand you're getting... Is it Raidmax or Seasonic O.o There's a big difference....

 

Like many people on this forum would, i recommend into looking at EVGA G2 :D

it will be fine for your first graphics card, and probably your second too, but i would be more comfortable with a 850 watt.

It's the Corsair CX 750W. It looks like the most cheapest and with good reviews.

Its not the worst choice, but its not the best.  Spend a little bit more money and buy the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W.  It is currently on sale for $80 on NCIXUS.com.  It has amazing performance, great features, all black cabling, and 10 year warranty.

I never said it's the most cheapest... I will keep that system for long and just upgrade GPUs...

EVGA is amazing.  Their products are great and their customer service is what keeps me coming back and recommending them.

It's G1, not G2. G2 is really expensive...

 

Edit: OK it's G2 - $85 - good! Yeah i will probably get that. Thanks!

What does this mean btw? 

Do I have to send an email to EVGA?

Save $20.00USD with manufacturer's mail-in rebate!

 

 

I will get the 750W G2. Components will get more efficient so I won't need more in later upgrades.

Its a mail-in-rebate.  You go to the website once you get the product, fill in the UPC.  Cut out of the UPC, mail it in.  There are directions on the website, mail in rebates are very standard.  EVGA does them very well.

According to Corsair link my system in my sig (4.7GHz + GPU overclock to 1541MHz) uses a maximum of 324.2 watts when maxed out. So even if I extrapolate an additional 200 watts for another 980 that's only 524 watts.

 

A good quality 750 watt PSU should be more than enough.

CPU: i9-13900k MOBO: Asus Strix Z790-E RAM: 64GB GSkill  CPU Cooler: Corsair H170i

GPU: Asus Strix RTX-4090 Case: Fractal Torrent PSU: Corsair HX-1000i Storage: 2TB Samsung 990 Pro
