bigduck

Im 13 years old and im building my first pc soon. I want to upgrade this pc to a 3700x / 3070 in the near future, and i was wondering if a 750w 80+ Gold psu would be sufficient, or should i go 850w?

750w should be fine. What parts are you originally buying? What PSU do you plan to buy.


(Please post the parts list)

750 watts should be perfectly fine.

It really depends on which 750w. The 3070 especially would cause problems with some psus. 

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)
