Msuni

I am thinking about getting a 2080ti and need to upgrade my PSU, however i am unsure which one to get. Any recommendations?

 

Coffee Lake i7 8700k @3.7ghz
Gigabyte GTX 1070 8GB 
Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8gb 3000MHz 
MSI z370-A PRO
Kobink 600w
Toshiba 1tb
Seagate Barracuda 2tb
Samsung 970 EVO SSD 500gb

Phantek Enthoo Pro M Case

 

Also, can i even run a 2080ti with my setup?

yes, your motherboard has a PCI express slot which is basically the only criteria, aside from the aforementioned PSU.

Kobink 600w

Is this PSU the Kolink KL-600W or a different unit? And what's your budget for a replacement?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

Sorry for late reply, i didnt get a notification for the edit. I dont really have a budget. I'm thinking of getting Corsair VS650 650 W Active PFC 80 PLUS, would you recommend this one?

The VS is Corsair's cheapest unit. Spend a little extra for their CX550 or CX550M, worth it. Of course since you're going for a 2080 ti you shouldn't be considering low end PSUs, a TXM maybe would be more appropriate

So is 550 plenty for a 2080ti? 

 

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. :)

It does the job, of course if you like quieter fan operation, 650 watts is good

Only if it's a good unit. VS550 is not. If you can afford USD$1,200 for a top of the line RTX2080Ti graphics card you can afford more than $40 on a budget PSU.

What country are you in so we know what is available? If you wanted to stick with Corsair then I would recommend the RMx series for a 2080Ti.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

If you don't have the money for a decent PSU, you don't have the money for a 2080 Ti.

I said i don't have a budget meaning I don't have a specific amount that i want to spend...... The one i mentioned was just a random one that i found.

This would serve you much better instead: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/bqVD4D/corsair-rmx-2018-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020177-na

 

the CXM has an outdated double forward primary topology that could lead to voltage regulation issues at transient peaks of the 2080ti according to Jonnyguru.

Why ? You have better options than that. 

 

The RMx as mentioned above is a much better choice. There is also the semi modular TXM 650W for a bit less. Still a good unit.
