i9 9900k

Msi geforce rtx 3090 gaming trio

32gig g.skill tridentz 3600mhz

Nzxt kraken x72

Corsair ll120 fans ( 4 of them ) 

Corsair ll140 fans ( 2 of them )

I have not yet received the mobo i mentioned msi one, neither the msi 3090 graphics card i ordered them yesterday will get them next week monday. But my question is, is my psu good enough or do i need a bigger one ?

My plan is to do some overclocking.

Gonna set cpu to 5.0 ghz, xmp on ram, and push the graphics card to a ... Well good level.. any recommendations is highly appreciated !! Thanks for any and all answers :)

If you're doing some overclocking, I'd upgrade the PSU.

You should be fine at stock speeds, but overclocking will almost certainly push you over the limit. Get at least a 1000W PSU.

That's bull, You power supplies gives what the pc asks for. The goal here is being efficient and not drawing too much and wasting energy.

no there is no problem with having more than you need. it could just be a little burn of money. infact if you have deep pockets, a larger psu of higher quality is a worthy investment if you ask me.

My Seasonic PX-1000 (OneSeasonic Prime PX-1000) handles my *530W* RTX 3090 FE and 10900k with ease.  Shunt modded.  I am using the official Seasonic 12 pin cable.  Hasn't tripped on me yet.

It's fine.

 

Although if you plan on OCing it and or getting a new BIOS for it since it's a 3X 8 Pin card then I would get a new PSU 850W or 1000W.
