I second it, that doesn't make any sense. @btng Wattage calculators are garbage, don't trust them. 550W is fine if not OC'ing, a 650W-750W if you are OC'ing, depending on your overclock.

Wattage calculators are crap, don't use them. Take what the calculator gives you and cut it in half. A good 550W PSU will handle everything just fine. Only real reason to go with more than 550W is for dual GPU setups, even then those are pointless. As for the case, have a look at the Phanteks Pro M Special Edition, very roomy for many applications, server etc.. Or look at my signature.

When are people going to stop giving into EA.. Well PC players wised up at least.

Most users on this forum are inexperienced, the S340 is not airflow optimized, it could be used for an average config, but not an OC'd one like you plan to. 1080s run very hot. The only NZXT case that has good airflow is the H700. Also you don't need a 850W PSU. Go with the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 550W.

@KarathKasun How are your Deltas pulling 50W - 60W?? Wouldn't it be more along the lines of 20W - 30W ( from what I saw at newegg not sure which models you have), since current is at around 1.4 - 2 amps rated at 12V?

Not how you measure fan wattage. Fans use 1-2W. I measured my server's wattage once, ran i3, 8GB ram 10x4TB drives 6x 3000RPM fans that took up 78W while idle total and 105W at full peak. Mind you these are industrial fans.

PSU calculators are not accurate. Look, PSU calculators are trash and PCs don't require that much wattage, normal users, even work stations (depending on setup) barely go over 550W. Look at the tier list below and look between 400W to 550W for your psu. No need to go over that, especially not for your current builds.

eh that's what I meant, confused something in there with something else. At 50% load it's efficient at converting power to the components yet that's why it's important to have the right psu wattage and not something overly estimated as when it's at 50 -100% load for example it's more efficient.

That's why its important to use the psu that's right for your system as you reach certain loads it becomes more efficient. Corrected*

A 1080 can draw up to 400W at peak...? ? ? How are you calculating those draws?? Why are you recommending him a 750W now. 550W is perfectly fine.

A 550W power supply will do you better than a 650W. That psu ranks in tier 2 of the psu tier list. Never used a thermaltake psu so I can't comment, but I can comment on the use of RGBs on a psu.. is well ridiculous.

The Seasonic gold 550W ($59.99) and 850W(94.99) USD?

PSU calculators are inaccurate and I don't suggest them. What are your specs? Will you be overclocking?

lol comptia.. most of it outdated crap they still want you to answer on tests. Back on topic, you listed 700W as a total which is uncommon among normal users even power users with only one gpu. Don't know how you're calculating 700W max draw (not including disk/ usb, board), but you do not need a 1000W psu. I don't know where you're getting "1000k+ watt power supplies normally have more than one over clocked gpu" from. Hard drives typically use 6W when reading/writing and 0.8 idle/sleep. Meaning you need 10 HDDs to use up 60 watts and be at load all at the same time.. I've had a 10x4TB drives, an i3, 8GB of RAM, an SSD, and 6 case fans and my server only consumes 78W at idle at the wall as measured with a kill-a-watt device, 105W at load. Not sure how you're reading is, but I said a rough overall look at power estimation. In any case you need to stop giving people bad advice. Nothing you have said made any sense.

Where ever you read that, don't read there writing again.. You could run that on a 450W with an i7-8700K both overclocked. Run a 140W i7-7800X if you want on a 450W with that card.

What's the error? Does the power switch not work when you press it? Could be the power switch isn't properly connected on the board. Give us more info.

It's not your fan orientation, it's a bad case in general. I was hoping a optimal fan configuration would help, but it appears it won't. Most of the time removing the front panel helps a ton which you mention is ugly, but helps. Doesn't seem like your running high end components either, which usually helps not having them in to help with better heat output and airflow. What are your current front intake fans? It could be swapping them out for better 120mm fans might help.

Two front fans as intake. Don't know much about that case, but if it's like the masterbox 5 you're going to need to up the quality of the fans and get more fans on top as well. Create the positive air pressure with Front 2x 140 fans as intake Top as intake Rear as exhaust

I'd advise you not listen to your best chosen answer. To give you a rough outlook what you do is add the cpu and gpu wattage then add an additional 100W. That is by no accurate as there are many factors to consider, just know 450-550W PSU is the max any normal user would need, even OC'ers. You see people getting 650W- 1000W PSUs because they don't know what they're doing. Don't link outervision it's trash and should be banned as it gives users the wrong impression.

Have a look at the Phanteks Pro M TG black or the special edition which comes with a white interior and two RGB halo fans at the front. It's compared to the Meshify C in terms in airflow performance. The best two cases for your money in the market right now are the Meshify C and Phanteks Pro M.

The P350X is better performing than the h500 and s340. Most NZXT (H440, H500, S340/Elite) cases apart from the H700 (decent airflow) have horrible airflow. Honestly if you care about airflow though Meshify C and Phanteks Pro M (check out the special edition) are my go to cases. Otherwise go for the P350X should do your specs fine with the right fan configuration.

Another vote for the 550W Focus Plus Gold. You don't need a 650W/850W, save yourself the money and buy more fans. SLI is pretty much dead, newer technologies by Nvidia are killing it. It was never supported well anyways.

Have you looked into Phanteks RGB Halos? Great choice for uncompromising performance.

I vote the top 2 cases. Meshify C and Phanteks Pro M (look at the special edition.) The rest: LianLi = poorly designed FD R6 = you don't need unless space/hdd is a requirement Corsair 460x = horrible airflow

You know I was just looking for a custom panel (mod) company that would do this for my friends case as the mesh front panel only covers a small portion of the front. So far the case modders I know have said no, they don't do custom work, nor edit an existing panel (you send it in.) I'm guessing no, my friend might just return his.
