should i get a power supply from the evga weekend sale?

rustable

Budget (including currency): 

Country: usa

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

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): 

 

currently i am saving money for a build that im going to get, this is a rough draft here, should i get this power supply while its cheap right now or stick with an 850 watt power supply later

Iirc that's just the normal going price for it, Maybe 20-40 dollars cheaper then msrp.

It's an okay psu, evga has been lowering their prices all across the board lately, so I'd just wait until you plan to buy the rest of your parts since prices fluctuate pretty frequently.

Most of my PSUs are now EVGAs and I get them on sales like this one.

1000 watt PSUs for the price of 850 watt PSUs is a good way to future proof.

The 1000 watt Corsair I bought for SLI in 2016 is still in use with a 3080 ti.

 

The 3080 you have chosen uses 350 watts.

I have hard no issues with GPUs on 850 Watt PSUs using that amount of power. I have had issues with GPUs using 370 watts plus so I like to use 1000 watts or more on them.

 

So if you decide to get a Suprim X(390 watts) instead of the Ventus go for the 1000 watt EVGA.

That is more power than my MSI Gaming X Trio 3090 uses.

G5 is a Tier B PSU. It would be better to get a higher quality 850W model.

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
