Is a 1000W Platinum PSU enough for a high-end overclocked build?

Actual_Criminal

I created a build and have bought all the parts. However, I am thinking of buying a 3090 or maybe a 3080Ti instead of a 3080. (I'm not interested in the AMD GPU's.)

 

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5950X

COOLER: AIO Arctic Freezer 2

MOTHERBOARD: Asus ROG Strix X570-F

GPU: RTX 3090

WIFI ADAPTER: Asus PCE-AX58BT PCIe 

RAM: 32GB (16GBx2) 3600 MHz

STORAGE: 2 x NVme M.2 SSD's + 2 x 2.5" SSDs + 3 x 3.5" HDDs

PSU: Corsair HX Platinum 1000 W 80+ Platinum

 

Of course a 1000 W is enough, however I know overclocking can add extra juice. - Will I still be able to overclock the CPU and GPU and still comfortably using the 1000 W PSU?

Yes, it'll be more than enough. If you had a triple 8-pin 3090 and you overclocked the snot out of it, even 850W would be enough.

why? 6800XT would make much more sense if you do not need RT, Anyway you should get whatever is on stock first.

 

1000w will be enough

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
