GTX 1070, i7 6700k PSU

[TECHNO-BUNKER]

Hi guys, 

 

So I'm looking to upgrade my budget build to a full on gaming build but not breaking the bank. I've already made my decisions so no one critisize me I'm choosing an i7 6700k and a gtx 1070. I've currently got a 500 watt power supply and it does the treat. If I were to go ahead with these upgrades, would I need to upgrade my power supply. If so how many Watts would it have to be?

Pc part picker says the i7 6700k and 1070 will use around 240 watts. If you overclock they will use a bit more, but you should be fine.

Cheers buddy

500w is more than enough for a 6700k and GTX 1070. Power consumption is probably more like 300w or less for that system.
What model PSU is it though? If it's an older, poor quality unit then you may still want to replace it since you're upgrading the rest of your hardware.

What are you upgrading from? Not to criticise your choice, but if you don't already have a Z170/Z270 motherboard then you may want to look at other stuff instead unless you're getting the motherboard and CPU for a really good price.

This is confusing. What is your planned build, the 6700K or the 8700K?

How is it confusing they said the 6700k in both the title and post.

Because in his post he lists the 8700K as a planned upgrade.

That's their signature not the post.

So he is planning on two upgrades, the 6700 now and a a new MB and the 8700 later, or he changed his mind and decided to go with the 6700 instead of the 8700? 2400mhz RAM?

If you were computer savvy you wouldn't be buying a 6700K unless you are getting it for a stupidly low price.

No, but if I were you I'd go for something with 6 cores.

A 1070 and a 6700k aren't likely using 500ws even, but what matters more is the psu quality.  So, knowing the exact model would help.

I made up my mind everyone ima go for a gtx 1070 with an i7 8700k i was looking at a 6700k on ebay for a small price but for the extra bit of performance I think the 8700k will do me good. It might break the bank but oh well who cares

Really, you not letting anyone here help you. If you would list your current build plus your budget we may be able get you a nice build within budget. Why don't you let us try? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. There are many options besides the 6700K and the 8700K. I assume that you don't mind overclocking. Would you consider an AMD build?

Now we are getting somewhere! No one is judging you   We are trying to get you the best build for your money. What's the budget? The 1070 is very expensive in the US. We can probably get a better GPU for less money.

Nothing above 500 or 600 would be ok.

Did you plan on putting a 6700k in that motherboard initially?
