Will 550 watts be enough if I want to overclock?

[aisle9]

Yes, a CX/CXM 550W would be perfect for that build.

I don't know a bunch about overclocking, but these two look like good options for not much more, just to be safe: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/CVkD4D,R2mxFT/

 

P.S. Nevermind, good response just now by aisle9

Get this one instead, it's a better unit and the PSU will have more headroom for quieter operation and better efficiency: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/64cMnQ/seasonic-focus-plus-gold-750w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-750fx

[Herman Mcpootis]

yes, a 550w unit is more than enough for a 1600+1070ti combo

[Cyborgsmith]

Why not go for something like this LINK you actually get a specified warranty and the rating are alot better.

I would probably get a bit more of a powerful PSU, maybe a 650w or 750w. Good luck on the build though! looks solid

750w is overkill when you can't even SLI on the motherboard

Yeah, but it's not that much more. Sure, a CX550 (2017) can run this build but it will run hotter (aka louder) and won't be as efficient - the Seasonic unit is discounted and is only 15$ more. I'd say it's worth it, especially if you're getting additional 200W of headroom

The grey-label CX is a well-built PSU. While the EVGA's warranty is two years longer, 80+ ratings do not equate to build quality.

 

And, frankly, user reviews on Amazon are useless.

pretty sure the CX550 has the same warranty as the GQ, corsair lists it as 5 years.

You can overclock fine on a CX550W, however, I would suggest getting a motherboard that has better VRMs for overclocking. The Asus B350 Prime Plus is OK and better than your Tomahawk.
