Go to solution Solved by Guest,

what if i at some point add another 980 ti? will i need even more then the hx1000i then?

thx for the responce sofar :)

An 850W would be fine for a 2nd card. If you are going to be overclocking the cpu and gpu's then go with 1000W as X99 cpu's are a bit more power hungry than Z97.

 

I would look at EVGA psu's as they are usually cheaper than Corsair. The EVGA G2/GS 850W, EVGA G2/P2/PS 1000W and EVGA GS 1050W are all very good.

850W should be enough for that rig. I doubt you'll end up using more. It's good to go for 850 over 750 though since you will also have an invaluable buffer for event such as spikes and etc.

Would get the HX1000i since money doesnt seem to be a problem. Or how about this?

I would get something other than the HX as there's better for the money (ahem, everything from EVGA these days)

EVGA has a nice name going to it these days so I think there are going to be some overpriced ones in there....

Everything will work well nonetheless, though we know to avoid most G1s and the NEX.

Yeah, technically the G2 (Leadex) is better but nobody will notice the difference

Except for those people who need to run their PSU 24/7 and save 50 dollars ;) ;) ;) ;)
