How many watts do I need? 2.0 (Intel 10/Nvidia 3000 series update)

[elusivnes]

Hello guys

I am making my new build with 12900k and 3090ti from what i saw it has to have minimum 800w psu so i chose Seasonic Prime PX-1300 SSR-1300PD

is that good PSU?  it has enough power and 12 years warranty and it have great users review but i wanna check here what are your experiances with it

I swapped out the 750 with a 1000watt Corsair RMx...is that decent?

[AreebI]

I’m looking to upgrade to a 3060/3060ti depending on prices. 
I have a 3600x cpu and a 550w 80+ bronze psu 

Do I need to upgrade the psu when upgrading the gpu?

Manufacturer recommends 650w for both cards

1300W is just right
The 3090 can "jump up" to 900W
I know because I have a similar set Only I have AX1600W (corsair)

[Nick Brennan]

I have a 3080 Gigabyte 10gb OC card. I bought a 1000 watt PSU RMx. Works awesome. Not one hiccup.

 

Thank you Jesus!

hi, i am in the process of acquiring all the pieces needed for my build wich are i7-11700k, mobo z590-e wifi, TEAMGROUP T-Force Dark Za 16 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory,a noctua nh-d15s chromax black, a gtx 1660 super from tuf and some fans. right now all that is missing is the psu, i would like some advice as to how much watt, i was thinking 650 ish. thank you i will take every comment into consideration

 

estimated wattage : 400

Hi! According to parts-picker this build would end up pulling 329W.. this seems VERY low - but I do not know a lot about hardware - would someone care to advise? Would be most grateful!

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 35MB

Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite V2
Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Vengeance RGB PRO SL
ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 3060 OC 12GB V2

329w is pretty accurate. A 550w Tier A unit will do the job.

Hey guys im doing a little upgrade to my 2018-2019 set up. Will my PSU survive or I will need something a little bit better?.

 

Current set up:

CPU: i5-9600k upgraded  (i5-13600KF)

GPU: RTX 2070 8GB

RAM: 32GB Trident Z 3200mhz

SSD: 1 m.2 970 EVO 500gb + 1 500GB m.2 + 1HDD 1TB

MOBO: Asus Z390-A upgraded (Some Z690 with bios flashback)

PSU: Corsair CX550M

Cooling: NZXT Kraken x52 AIO

How much is needed for my old 2016 PC and since I suspect more parts will fail eventually, how high should I go to also futureproof it for a new mid-range PC?

Introduction:

By the popular concept of @Aniallation, who since retired from the forum, the "How many watts do I need" is still one of the most asked question by many people wanting to build a PC. By similar methodology, here a simple guideline to how much your PC would need, assuming the quality of the PSU itself is good. These numbers are estimations based off a stress maximum load, one you will likely never reach in normal use. Take these numbers as a guideline, but feel free to ask on the forum itself if you're still not sure what you need with your exact configuration.

 

Methodology:

CPU+GPU+50=estimated wattage, chosen worst case out of the configs
