how much power?

[Jam_jam2]

so im getting the i7-9700k with a 1070 or potentially a 1070 ti depending on the power usage im wondering how much power does it need? i currently have a 500w from fractal design none 80+ certified. it was gifted to me from a friend he had bought it as a gift 

[LukeSavenije]

oh no... not that thing

 

get something better

 

I'd say 550w or higher

[Jam_jam2]

so what brand would you recommend then?  

[SpiralTTGL]

500w is fine for this setup, however these parts are pretty pricy are you willing to risk it with that powersupply?

[Jam_jam2]

for the 1070 ti or none ti?

i don't recommend brands, because that's flawed as hell. have a psu tier list (I'd recommend a or higher, but b will do)

it's not even good... fractal doesn't make PSUs themselves, it's a really cheap fsp

cxm is a cwt dual forward, will probably whine

pp11 is a custom made fsp, pretty nice unit

formula is a custom cwt gps, nicest of these 3

[Jam_jam2]

so the formula is the best of these 3?
