@cryosin these psus that SID posted are all good ones that you could use

 

Budget (including currency): 2500 USD willing to go higher if needed.

Country: US

 

 

I am building a new computer hopefully next week. I have picked out the parts that I want but want to make sure the PSU will suffice. It would be best if I can go with a 750w PSU as power is an issue in my room. This is why I went with the 13700F as it claims to be a 65W chip. Everything else is pretty firm as those are the parts I want.

 

AMD recommends a 750w psu for the 7900xt

I think you are overthinking it. The 750w or 850w or 1000w will only deliver what your components are drawing... the rest is all headroom. If your system only draws 500w, then the 750 is actually working harder to provide it compared to the 850. I think with the components you've selected, a 750w PSU will be sufficient. You will get into trouble if you start overclocking your CPU and GPU at the same time and to extreme levels. You really won't need to overclock your CPU for gaming, so there is some headroom there if you really want to crank more fps from your GPU.

 

I understand what AMD is recommending for your GPU, but since you are buying a card made by ASRock, what do they recommend?

 

I would spend a bit more on your M.2 drive and upgrade to a 2 TB minimum.

 

Is $300 a good price for an AIO and five RGB fans?

Depending on what you're doing and what resolution you're playing on playing games at or doing editing at... a 4070 or 4070Ti should be plenty. I would go for higher on the RAM, and double the storage. I also went with the 13700KF for the higher clock speed. If you don't plan on overclocking, then you can stick with a B760 motherboard too.

That's just the TDP of the chip. That doesn't represent the real max power consumption AT ALL. My 12700K goes up to 210W if I stress test it and in normal use, like video editing, it can go up to 140W, the 13700F will consume around the same amount of power under load, but while gaming I'd say that it'll stay below 100W but it'll definetely be above 65W. I'd get a good quality 750 or 850W power supply, I've had a good experience so far with my beQuiet Straight Power 11 850W. It's very quiet, even when I hit it with full load ( I can only do around 420W actually xD), I can't hear it over the fan noise of my case (not that loud actually)

Wait, where does OP mention games and editing? Id agree with your build if they do, probably do some budget shuffle and cost compression to get us more creature comforts.

I don't think OP mentioned that but using EVGA power consumtion calculator he is near maximum so it would make sense to go higher.

What um...... whats wrong with the electrical if I may inquire?

Old wiring and I already have a sever on the circuit lol. My current computer has a 750 watt and has never tripped the breakers so I was thinking LOL hopefully I can get away with 750 again

Yes, 750W should be fine. It is the GPU manufacturer's recommended minimum.

 

The G5 PSU is a Tier B model on https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/. Perfectly fine although one can usually find a Tier A in the same price range. E.G. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YRJp99/corsair-rm750e-2023-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020262-nahttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/R4Gbt6/corsair-rm750-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020231-nahttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/hCGbt6/thermaltake-toughpower-gf3-tt-premium-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0750fnfagu-4

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
