Posted December 14, 2018 I bought a 750W power supply for my mid range PC which consists of a Ryzen 5 2600, Rx570 4GB, 8GB RAM kit & 5 case fans and i was wondering is it an overkill?? p.s. i bought it because I wanted to save the hassle of upgrading psu for future upgrades later on.

Posted December 14, 2018 Yes, way overkill for wattage. If you want to reuse the PSU for upgrades, you'd likely be better off getting a similarly priced, lower wattage and higher end PSU. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 14, 2018 way overkill, and also I'm worried that you bought a low quality one CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1 Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync Desktop benching: Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833 SuperPi (v1.5 from Techpowerup, PI value output) 16K: 0.100s 1M: 8.255s 32M: 7m 45.93s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 14, 2018 You can check the recommended wattage for your build on a few websites online, I like to user PCPartpicker. Also, don't (ever) go cheap on your PSU, if it dies, it may take some components down with it. 75% of what I say is sarcastic So is the rest probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 14, 2018 You would've been better off getting a lower wattage but better quality power supply. Is it fully modular? What efficiency rating is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 14, 2018 Way overkill, however there are some benefits to getting a super overkill PSU (i.e. semi-fanless mode, on the RM1000x and RM1000i the fan doesn't spin until about 600W).

Posted December 14, 2018 2 minutes ago, rnhbs said: What wattage do u recommend? 450-550W. 450W for up to a 2070/1080, 550W for up to a 2080 Ti. The more important thing is to get a good PSU. If you want a quiet PSU, get a quiet PSU, not a silly high wattage one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking of a 1080ti in upcoming years 1080ti's most aggressive custom BIOS puts the power limit at 350w (and doesnt hit that unless you go liquid), while Ryzen 5 2600 at 1.4V doesnt draw more than 150w even when you put the heaviest synthetic load to them at the same time. 550w is already enough as long as you don't do that.
