Is 500w enough for this setup

Any decent 500 watt power supply is better than any crappy 700 watt PSU, let alone a thermaltake smart.

 

Your setup will draw close to 300 watts at full load. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

So i can overclock to 4.5ghz and oc the gpu and ram too and i will be under 300w ?

 

What do you think of the 500w psu that i am considering to buy? Is it decent enough?

Is 500w enough or should i go with a cheap 700w psu like this:

Don't go with a "cheap" PSU no matter the wattage.  The ROI isn't there.

 

Also, pretty sure you can get similar quality 550W or 600W for same money.

 Make sure to use the quote button so we can see your responses.

 

The EVGA GD is a fine power supply, decent for the purposes of this PC.
