Is a 700 watt Psu Enough for this setup?

[Krachwayne]

This is my current setup however I went and decided to buy a 700 w EVGA 80 plus bronze power supply. I have a link below to PC part picker of my setup. I wanted to know if 700 watt is enough.  https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GodofLight/saved/#view=7hM3ZL.

Single GPU? Yes, plenty.

Yes!

[Etrabon]

Yup.

[Dedayog]

You'd be fine with 550w, so 700 is plenty.

Unless you use an actual fridge for CPU cooler, have 10 fans and 4 RGB strips, then yeah.

The computer would run fine with a 550-650w power supply.

If you don't mind spending up to 100$ on psu, you can choose a better quality more efficient power supply ... don't chase the watts.

Vega 64 with EVGA B1 ?

No, no, no and no. But it's not about wattage.

You have Vega 64, the most power hungry relatively modern GPU, it has insane transient power draw of almost 450W.

Now, this PSU ... i wouldn't put it in very budget APU build even, assuming you buy it now there are way better options in it's price range. It's by no way (i mean, NO WAY) an appropriate PSU for Vega 64, and i highly doubt it will even work with it under load at all.

What would be appropriate for it ? 650W versions of smth like Corsair RMx (or TXm \ RM \ Vengeance M if they're way cheaper but Bitfenix Formula Gold are usually as cheap and it's better), Bitfenix Formula Gold \ Whisper, Enermax Revolution D.F., Deepcool DQ-M, Phanteks AMP \ Seasonic Focus GX \ Antec Earthwatts Pro (all three are the same thing internally but these are last picks, they may have problems with this GPU too), they're currently the cheapest of PSUs i'd put in any mid\high-end build, not to say the one with AMD Vega.

 

Edit: that's aside the fact that if this is new build, Vega 64 are by no way a good pick for gaming GPU in the first place. And R7 2700 aren't optimal pick either. And 4k display are waste of money too if it's for gaming. If this is workstation machine i can imagine where this config would be useful tho, yep.

Plenty of wattage, not enough quality.

 

For the majority of the B series, once it gets warm, it has trouble outputting its maximum wattage, something to take note of for high end systems.

But isn't evga the 2nd best psu brand(superflower oem btw) after seasonic(who makes psus for corsair and several other brands, dont forget the best budget psu s12ii)?

EVGA as a brand are sure decent overall, they make great GPUs, some of their PSUs are good, that it, but this one are trash (budget trash mind you but again, there are better options for it's price). And no, Seasonic S12II is not 'the best budget psu'.

That's the effect of a Halo product for you. One of their products is really good, people assume all of them are good.

 

Like every PSU brand, EVGA outs out good ones and puts out bad ones. I've got an EVGA G2, which is great, but is nothing like any of the B series.
