Building my dream pc, which PSU should I get? 850w? 1000w?

Hauareyou
Go to solution Solved by Boomy Beatle,

I would go for the 1000W, at least. 850W may be good enough to handle the 11900K and 3090 on their own, even during those quick power spikes, but with all the extra fans and lighting you plan on adding, you'll definitely need some room to grow. At that point you're more likely to find higher efficiency PSUs anyway. Gold is good, but it seems like it's quickly becoming the default.

These are the current parts I have:

 

 

I manage to get a CORSAIR RMx White Series RM850x for a great deal, however, is this enough for power my system and all its components without worries? 

 

Thank you in advance!

Don't use extensions like the Strimer Plus in a high-end system. It's causing issues like instability and shutdowns because extensions makes the cables longer and the voltage lower. Longer cable is more resistance is lower voltage at the end of the cable.
