That'll be fine. I doubt your system would use more than 400W under heavy load.

Also incase Im gonna have to get the palit gamerock version instead of gigabyte is it still fine as palit version has 2x8pin connnector?

The pure power 11 600W has 4 PCIe connectors so that's not an issue.

Hi I'm planning on buying a new graphics card (rtx 2070 super) right now I have a be quiet pure power 11 600watt psu in my system as I don't want to risk damaging my new gpu I'm going to buy new psu but the problem is I don't have many choices here where I live so I made a list of PSUs that I have available here with prices:
(also I don't need platinum rating gold is just fine for me)
Corsair:
RM750X (2018) 750W (CP-9020179-EU) (127,61 €)
HX750i 750W 80+Platinum Modular (186,51 €)-this one is out of my budget (my budget is 150€ however I'm not cheaping out on psu) also I don't need platinum rating
RM750i 80Plus Gold Modular (158,47 €)-(also out of my budget but I'm fine with adding 8€ if it's worth getting)
EVGA:
SuperNOVA 750 G1+ Modular 80+Gold, 120-GP-0750-X2 (137,48 €)
SuperNOVA 850 G1+ Modular 80+Gold, 120-GP-0850-X2 (144,07 €)
SuperNOVA 850 GQ 850W, 210-GQ-0850-V2 (155,01 €)
750 GQ 750W 80+Gold Modular, 210-GQ-0750-V2 (113,81 €)
be quiet:
STRAIGHT POWER 11 CM 750W (BN283) (145,64 €)
POWER ZONE 850W (BN212) (161,20 €)
Power Zone, 80Plus Bronze, 750 W CM (131 €)

Some of them are out of my budget but id rather go over my budget fo 20-30€ than frying my 600€ gpu.
So what should I get?

You shouldn't have any issues using the Pure Power 11 600W with the RTX2070 Super. Why do you feel that the Pure Power 11 600W is dangerous to use with the RTX2070S?

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

Well it says on the gigabyte site minimum recommended psu: 650Watt also I heard that pure power series are bad at transient loads on 3.3v rail

Your PSU is good enough.

 

In future, don't judge PSU quality because they don't indicate anything about the power supply's quality, and difference in efficiency is miniscule based on electricity bill etc.

 

Just refer to PSU Tier List to determine quality, from there you can determine price(your psu is tier b+ on the tier list, which isn't ideal for a higher end system but will be fine. No need to buy a whole new PSU.

I love my pure power nothing to complain about just the fact that its 600watt instead of minimum 650w thats listed on gigabyte site also its around 7months old.

I did a test for my system a while back(r5 3600, rtx 2070s plus a shit load of RGB fans and stuff) and I think I pulled around 400W, so you should be fine. What's your complete system specs?

You can ignore that. GPU manufacturers really need to stop putting that in the spec sheet. The RTX2070Super itself will draw around 200-250W under load.

Gigabyte has no idea how much power your system uses since they don't know what your components are. They don't know if you have a 30W low power dual core Pentium CPU or an overclocked 32 core/64 thread Threadripper/Xeon CPU drawing several hundred watts... The wattage estimate they give is essentially worthless.

 

What are your PC's specs?

That'll be fine with the Pure Power 11 600W. No need to replace it.
