Hello!  I'm having trouble deciding what sort of PSU I should get.  I would love to overclock my EVGA FTW3 3090, but I'm already living on the edge at around 850w (my current PSU is an EVGA G3 850w) and I don't want to push it.  Do I go for the 1300/1200w or will I be completely safe with something like the EVGA GT 1000?  All I know for sure is I'd like a modular power supply, and I'm willing to jump from the EVGA ship given a better option.

 

Intel Core i7 12700KF (OC)

EVGA FTW3 3090 (stock core and memory clock)

32 GB DDR5 (2x16)

12+ case fans (with RGB)

Lots of peripherals controller, mouse, keyboard etc (probably negligable)

EVGA Supernova G3 850w

Noctua D15 Chromax

 

TLDR: 

Is 1000w good for an oc'd 3090 + i7 11700kf?  If so, which one?

If not, what is a good safe size?

 

Thank you!

850w is fine for a 3090, oc'd or not. The card's tdp is only 350w.
