Hi!

 

First post and here we go.

 

So for a couple of months now, I've basically just been waiting for the new nVidia cards and AMD zen 3 chips so i can build my new rig. 

I will say I'm just assuming the TDP on the new Zen 3 chips will me fairly similar to Zen 2.

 

In my existing rig i have a Corsair RM850 (yellow label).

However i have become a monitor fiend and am in need of a secondary gpu to be able to use 5 monitor + my VIVE.

 

My idea is to add a GTX 1050Ti ITX version that only uses power from the PCI-e (75w Max).

 

I have looked at "How many watts do I need? 2.0" But i just want to be sure in case i need to buy a new PSU.

 

 

TLDR; Will a 850W be enough to power 2 GPU's and a high end AMD zen 3 chip?

Hello and welcome.

 

The 750W PSU recommendation from Nvidia is based off the power draw of the 10900k.  I'd imagine that you're gonna be fine with 850W and a Ryzen CPU.  

 

Heck, I'm gonna try my 650W before I spring for a larger capacity PSU.

850W should be fine. A system with a Ryzen 9 3950X and two GTX 1050 Ti's should only need around 500W total system power. Use this calculator

SPEC LIST:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X w/ NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm Liquid Cooler
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) 5000MHz CL18
  • Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 Godlike
  • SSD: Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 1TB (x3)
  • PSU: Corsair AX1600i
  • Case: NZXT H710
  • Monitor: Alienware AW2521H 25inch 360Hz 1ms

I used that calculator, but when i enter a RTX 3090 + the 1050ti ut suggest 1200W psu.

So after doing some light research (mostly watching gamers nexus) i found out that 1200W can't be right.
