Budget (including currency): $3,500

Country: United Sates

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming/streaming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have been able to get my hands on a 3070 and a 9 5900x and was just looking into getting a good but not more then $200 850w PSU and found the Gigabyte GP-P850GM anyone know if it's any good/reliable. I if you want to look at what I will be building here it is. Can I go with 750w or or do I need 850w? I just want something good/reliable and that I can hook 9 lian li Uni fans. I also would like to want know if my storage is okay want best sweet spot.

I have heard really bad things about the Gigabyte P series. They are known for being very poor quality and they are known for having major issues with Ampere

i'd recommend this instead, significantly better and a great overall PSU Enermax Revolution D.F. 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (ERF850EWT) - PCPartPicker

You can also go for a lower wattage PSU, as you have a 3070. The 750W model would also get the job done with your specs.

Unless you plan on bending that entire system over your knee with overclocking, 750W will be enough. My personal choice would either be an EVGA Supernova 750 G5 or a Corsair RM750x.

yeah I don't plan to overclock but if I somehow wanted to overclock just like a little not a lot would 750 be okay?

Most likely. I personally do not have much hands-on experience with the latest hardware, but 750 is absolutely enough to run all of that at stock, so a little overclocking probably won't harm anything. The power draw required to hit certain increments of boosting is not linear, so you're pretty safe in the low range, but it requires a good chunk of headroom towards the maximums.

Both Gigabyte and Nvidia recoomend a 650W psu. Nvidia indicates that capacity is enough for the RTX 3070 and an i9-10900K.

 

750W is more than enough.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
