Wanting opinions on whether my power supply is strong enough or not

NotYourWifi

I have a Ryzen 9 3900x CPU and EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC ULTRA GAMING GPU. I was wondering if my CORSAIR CX Series CX750 (New) CP-9020123-NA 750W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-Modular Active PFC Power Supply will be enough for some over locking or if I should step it up just to be safe.

 

Thank you for all the advice

750W is more than enough for your system.

You could invest around ~30$ more to get a better quality one , at least Gold+

While I want to say it should be strong enough, the wattage seems more than adequate in my opinion, it seems odd to me to go with a lower cost psu when your other components are of such high value. I doubt you'll have any issues purely on a spec basis, although the lower cost power supplies tend to have less tight voltages so your overclocking experience may suffer. This doesn't really matter since the 3900x doesn't tend to clock too high on one of two ccd anyway, maybe it would affect your GPU overclock top end?

What exactly makes Gold+ better?
