Is my psu overkill?

I am building a PC with an i9 1900k, rtx 3080ti, atx motherboard and an Rgb aio cooler plus a few fans, do I need an rm 1000x or should I stick to an 850?

Imagine everything i have written in a Linus Voice/ linus tone (Spock live long and prosper gif here ,idk why tho, i guess i just want to say that i like star trek and am waiting for new seasons of the ongoing shows), But seriously, a lot of what i type only makes sense when said in a Linus tone from an older ltt video (circa 2017-2019 & now 2024-onwards) basically before he got a beard and a lot of it should make sense even in a Linus with a beard face.

also note as per the latest typing test on my laptop, my accuracy is 69%

 

I'm not weird/creepy, I'm just observant I have ADHD and am not on any meds for it because I don't want to and don't need to be on meds. i also may just be depressed. If you find other things around you depressing, are you depressed or are you surrounded by depressing things?

RM850x is plenty enough for your setup.

If you already have an 850w PSU, stick with it, it's fine and should be enough.

 

If you don't have one, I'd personally get the 1000w, just because I'd rather err on the side of "overkill" rather than "fine." I wouldn't say it's necessary to go that overkill, but it's just peace of mind to me.

@Skiiwee29 what about the spikes in the wattage and the fact that I might want to upgrade later?

I agree but does it justify  the extra price, especially in India where the import duty is 300 percent

I mean it's not a lot bc Indian currency is 74 times less valuable than dollars but it's no small amount of amazon

The only real reason why you should get the 1000w is that you want to be extra cautious and having a more optimized usage pattern. The RM850 is the recommended "will work" PSU for similar configs, and should be fine for what you do. I just go overkill with PSU for every system I've had (my main rig hasn't had anything less than a 1000W in the past 5 years) and there's no harm in going overkill with PSU.

Will an 850 work if I am overclocking GPU and CPU

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.
