Will it be good enough? for the RTX 3000

[AngerBird]

Im planning to buy a RTX 3070 as a birthday present and I know that a I5-9400F wont be enough and create a decent bottleneck 

so will A I5-9600KF and a 550 Watt PSU from corsair give enough power for it or will something else happen

Of all my parts above 

The RTX 2080 Super is The place Holder for the RTX 3070 because its also a 250 watt card 

and the wattage goes to about 444 watts is it going to be enough?

and if you could please answer this questions if you can 

because i know that it has`t been released yet and just answer from what you think!

1)Will i be able to run RTX at more than 100FPS or less

2)Will i need to upgrade the PSU

Don't write off your 9400F. Certainly don't replace it with a 9600F as that gets you only a little more clock but doesn't really change the situation. I'd suggest you stick it out with the 9400F and see how it goes, I think it will be less of a problem than you think. If you later decide you really need to upgrade, I would look at the 9700 at a minimum to make the difference worth it.

 

As for power supply, what do you currently have? The 3070 at rated 220W isn't too difficult to drive. A good quality 450W PSU can be sufficient, although a 550W would obviously give more headroom.

[Haro]

That won't be an upgrade I would go for in all honesty, and it's not a big upgrade and it's not worth it, for now wait and check how ampere preforms, but in gaming the 9400f isn't bad but we'll have to see how it holds up with a 3070, also wait for ampere to actually launch and then check the power consumption but I don't think a 550w won't be enough. 

What unit is that though?

Stick with the 9400F and see how it goes. If you find it's inadequate, maybe consider an upgrade to zen 3 when it's released. Should be fine though unless you want to run at low settings 1080p, or are playing very CPU heavy games like shadow of the tomb raider.

A good quality 550W PSU should be fine. I wouldn't go any lower, just so you have some room for upgrade in the future. Gamers Nexus' did a good piece of PSU wattage a few days ago if you need more help

But they recommend a 650 at minimum. Loading a 550w psu to 75%+ just to play a game is bad advice. Saying 450 should work is even worse.

[AngerBird]

Thanks For the Advice! im gonna say that i play mostly Esport titles and a few RPGs i do want to play valhalla and shadow of the tomb raider with good fps RTX on and High quality or is that too much to ask for from the CPU?

That’s using a 10980xe that has a HUGE power consumption spike compared to a 9400f.

Lol a bit of a difference there. I’ve hurt a few 850w psus, just don’t want to see some one hurt theirs cheaping out.
