1000 W PSU??

yes, but besides that, is it too much wattage? or is it bad for the components long term? 

If everything works, it's not detrimental. If something goes wrong, it'll definitely be more detrimental, than if you got a PSU with working protections. 

I still have absolutely no idea as to why you want a 1000W PSU.

well i want the future proofing and i want a gtx 1080 and i want to overclock this card also, i have lots of leds and hard drives and fans. also, i want some headroom i dont want the "recommended" i would like one above this in case  of  voltage spike.

Always go for the 1k. Part of the elitist club, like owning titans. Put yourself above the rest.

So you want a 1000W PSU, because your PC will draw ~300-350W. Yeah... No. 

Just get a good 450-550W, and you have plenty to overclock a 1080.

Right, but does the power become unstable? If it’s not being pushed hard enough ever?

Ok lol well now I know when I’m going to do

8700k at 5ghz and a single 1080 at stock as that’s all that cpus gonna handle. 

 

Doesnt use much power at all. I don’t care for the weak psus as they have bad sleaving that doesn’t match or the ribbon stuff. Like the corsairs, but 65 bucks for referbed Cx750m isn’t  bad regardless how bad the cables are.

Actually yes, in case of single-rail power supplies, if there is a resistive short your PSU will keep sending power until the connectors/cables burn. It's not very likely to happen, but the risk does exist.

Also, if you are buying a higher wattage unit for the same amount of money as other unit you may be getting worse quality/efficiency/noise levels/functionality. So it hurts indirectly in this case.

woops. OP, ignore my misinformation

im sorry, but i have no idea what the hell you just said.

sounds cool though. is the 1000 watt psu safe for a gtx 1060 and i7 7700k i night get a gtx 1080 in future and dont want the psu to damage anything  in long run by nit working hard enough

Well I cant break that down any further.

It isn't gonna hurt anything if its still in its efficiency range.

I'm not an expert on power supplies, my knowledge only goes so far and I assumed wrong.

ehhh I think 600-650 watts is ideal, but I doubt OP is overclocking his CPU so the range you suggested is probably fine.

OK now let’s say it was not in its efficiency range, can it damage of the components?

Nope, just wouldn't be efficient.

OK well I’m actually getting an 850 W instead of 1000, I feel like I need some sort of headroom. This is probably better than 1000. Also, do you think it safe to run this power supply with a 1060?

As long as a power supply has a good design (something I'm not super familiar with, look it up and read @17030644's previous comment) and has enough power to power the graphics card I don't see why it wouldn't work with a 1060 or 1080. Power supplies are made to do this kind of stuff so the only kind of power supplies that wouldn't be safe are power supplies that aren't safe and/or reliable. Those kinds are usually older and don't have updated designs. @17030644 please add to this or correct me if I'm wrong, which I may be. @Gorge follow @17030644's advice if he does provide more.

When your PC consumes 350W under load so you get a PSU with 450W worth of headroom.

 

Imagine being 170cm tall, so you buy doors that are 4 meter high to have enough headroom. Just in case you grow up twice your current height.

[Mick Naughty]

Except the doors will get lower over time. And you may decide for grow taller. 

 

[OrionFOTL]

Power supplies don't lose capacity over time, and upgrading from a 230W card (GTX1080) to one that would consume 670W by itself (450W more) is implausible to say the least.

No it consumes like 450 under load and will be more with a GTX 1080 ti

And entire computer with Core i7-6700K @ 4,7 GHz and Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti consumes 345W under load (376W*92%). So explain how can your computer consume 450W under load, and where does your data about GTX1080 Ti come from?

[Gorge]

Idk but what psu you you recommend for a gtx 1080ti

Also, i got LEDS!!! That’s so much wattage 

lol jk
