  1. I thought about that as well, basically get what I already have, just with more Watts. I'm just thinking about whether or not it's worth it to invest a bit more. Hmm, then what does make for a good PSU? I just don't want to cheap out on the PSU if I spend 700 bugs on a graphics card, but I don't want to go overkill for no good reason either. Basically I'm a bit annoyed that I didn't buy a beefier PSU 2 years ago and don't want to repeat that mistake. Would you recommend the Dark Power Pro 11? I don't really want to wait for the 12, as I plan to pick up the 3080 asap and then it would have to sit around until the new PSU is released... As for where I'm buying from. I'm from Germany, so German shops (Alternate, Mindfactory, Cyberport, Caseking). Currently the only store that has the Dark Pro 11 in stock is Caseking for 185€. Corsair RMX is 144€ and Straight Power 126€ (All 750W of course). Do you have any other recommendations I can check?
  2. Hi guys, I'm planning on getting a 3080 when it comes out and after some research it seems my current bequiet! 500W Straight Power just won't cut it. Specs: Ryzen 2700x RTX 3080 (currently 1070 TI) Asrock x470 Taichi 16gb G.Skill Flare X DDR4-3200 1TB Samsung 860 Evo 4TB Seagate BarraCuda Pro 2 Case Fans that came with my Fractal Design R6 I don't plan to overclock, but I might upgrade my CPU when AMD 4000 arrives. So far I've been looking at the bequiet Dark Power Pro 11 750W and the Seasonic Prime TX 80 750 W. I've heard the Seasonic is louder, but the bequiet! is not fully modular. Can you guys recommend one over the other or do you know even better alternatives? Basically I want a really good PSU for peace of mind and future proofing, given that I now already have to get rid of the bequiet! after ~ 2 years. It doesn't have to be Platinum rating, but I want high quality parts. I've already studied the PSU Tier list, but I'm completely overwhelmed with all the possible choices. Can you guys help me out?
