Wattage for my build

[BigBoss2020]

So, I know it's a done question around here but I'm a total noob in regards to building PCs. And this is my first one. So, here's my build:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K (TDP: 125W),

GPU: MSI Geforce RTX 2060 Super Ventus GP OC (TDP: 160W),

Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi,

RAM: G.SKILL 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 Ripjaws V Black,

HDD: Seagate BARRACUDA 2TB 7200obr. 256MB,

CPU Cooler: Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 (TDP: 250W)

+

4 Case fans

 

And in general, should I take into consideration such elements as cooler and motherboard? Because large amount of power calculators are based only on CPU and GPU,

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forums!

 

have you bought these parts?

 

Budget and country?

PSU calculators are most of the times inaccurate take a look at this thread instead

Hey, I haven't bought them yet. But I'm open to recommendations

a 550w is more then enough for this, psu calculators are incorrect most if not, all the times.

have you considered waiting for the new gen hardware? i.e zen 3, nvidia ampere and big navi?

Yeah, I know. I've considered upgrading in a 1,5-2 years, but I don't know if I should wait for the new gen since most likely I would be buying parts with the same specs, and most likely they will be more expensive. As this was the case with the current series

Thanks for reply, as for budget, it would be around 1100$ excluding monitor

i see, they are rumored to be released this september and near the end of this year, so the decision is up to you.

this is USD right?

 

also use case and what are you upgrading from?

Well, converted to USD to be exact

 

Edit: upgrading from Dell 7567 laptop (was in one the Linus' vids): i7-7700HQ, 1050Ti, 8GB of RAM

im going to assume for the whole build, well a SP11 550w, ion+ 560w, bitfenix forumla gold 550w, MWE gold 550w, rm550x, tx550m are all good.

What If I want to upgrade my GPU in a few years? For example to 3070 or whatever

We don't know what the power consumption for that gpu is. 

But I would assume it'll be a little worse or better possibly since they're moving to 7nm. 

Either way this current build consumes around 300ish watts so you still have headroom.

RM550x or Straight Power 11 550W, do these fit your budget?

Also, do you already have an SSD?

Don't know about buying and SSD, wanted to cheapen on memory side. Been living my whole life without SSD's and load times don't concern me that much. Maybe some time

Well Windows 10 runs like crap on a standard hard drive. An SSD is worth the money. Even for a small one just for your OS and select software. Games and stuff do fine on hard disk.

definitely get an ssd. improves system responsiveness and  is generally a HUGE upgrade over spinning storage. 

something like an a2000 for example  will do the job.

It makes a world of difference not just in loading times for games, but also the general snappiness of the system. A mechanical hard drive would just gimp the potential performance you should be seeing out of new hardware.

I'm actually not sure how you managed to fit a 10600K with that board and cooler into the same $1100 budget, but anyway.

Unless you also plan on streaming though, I'd also consider a 5700XT instead of the 2060 Super, as it does offer a decent bit more raw performance. Also the 2060S could make more sense if you plan on playing future AAA titles at 4K for example, because of DLSS 2.0, which would aid the 2060S in actually performing better than the 5700XT.

Yeah, definitely a must for me in the future

Huge thanks, definitely will take your advice into a consideration. But one question, I haven't dealt with AMD processors before, so how is your proposed CPU to a 10600K? As I said, I wanted to upgrade GPU in a few years, so I chosed that CPU to eliminate possible bottlenecking in the future. And I'm into graphics design, so I'd like to have fast CPU

The 3600 still holds its own very well, but I went with it instead mostly because going with the 10600K, Z490 and 2060 Super would've brought the total cost over $1100.

Oh, I actually found 10600K for even lower price, so it looks like I'm getting an SSD. Very thanks
