Talking about power supplies..

[pinkCountach]

Hi everybody! 
I finally decided that i want to "upgrade" my computer, and with that i mean that i want completely change it.

I got an almost 7yo build, with an Intel I5, a Nvidia GTX960 and some old ddr3 ram.

I started playing with partpicker and i came up with something that i am pretty happy with. 
On my old rig i got a 700w power supply, that i think it's enough, but i am not totally sure and i wanna hear some opinions from you guys, both for the build itself and the power supply. 

(keep in mind that i wil add a 1TB Hard Drive and a 250gb SSD plus the one that's listed)

What psu is it? Anyways, even if it was a high-end one at a time, I think you should buy a new one.

700 watts is a ton. Most high end computers will only consume about 400 to 450 watts at max load, and a 550 watt PSU will power nearly any gaming PC you can put together. For a budget PC, I highly recommend a high quality 450 watt unit.

Model? The system won't consume more than 350-400ish watts at worst so it's more than enough. 

But what model is that? Also if possible wait for zen 3 and ampere and big Navi as they're right around the corner.

It was a cooler master one RS-700-ACAB-D3.

My intention is to save some money, and after a month or two change it

Yeah i know it's a bit overkill, but it's to save some money before i am able to get a new one.

i forgot to mention on the post that i will start buying things around december, because i want to wait for the new Nvida 3000 and bc it's xmas and maybe my family will gift me something so i can get something better ahah

 

oh, and for the sticker, thanks, i started with a blackwidow chroma and rn even my ass is Razer

It's a cooler master RS-700-ACAB-D3. I need to update the post to say that this will be done during xmas holidays, so every piece can change until then

Ah yea by that time new hardware will probably be out. 

As for the PSU. I couldn't find ant review on it, though all I know is that it's relatively old. 

If you aren't planning on building this pc now.  I would suggest switching it out when you're going to build it. 

But again, I couldn't find anything on it.

That Thunder 700W PSU is old and wasn't very good to begin with. 

 

It's more than enough WATTAGE... it's just a garbage PSU.
