PSU Recommendation for this PC

Hey folks,
i am upgrading my PC components and this will be the final build of all it's upgrades:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6vtNgB

 

Estimated wattage: 828W.

i wont do overclocking!
i may add 1 or more NVME SSD to the build and the main GPU will be a 4080 super, it's not out yet, but i plan to add that one

even the 4070 ti, i am between 4070's and 4080's.

the PSU i am planning to buy is an Corsair RM1000x or EVGA SuperNova 1000 GT, but i hope you can help me with better options

or if this option is good enough.

i hope you can help me.

 

Cheers.

A quality 850w will be plenty.  The 14700k can draw 250w ( This never happens unless you do a 100% stress test ) and the RTX 4080 draws 320w.

Lets say you run at 100% on CPU and GPU you are looking at 570w, Fans use around 3-5w and RAM uses around 3-4w per 8GB, M.2 SSD's around 10w when writing.

So lets say 620w for 100% full system load.  850w is more than plenty for this system. 1300w is 2x what you actually need.

If you want to be 'extra safe' Get a 1000w. 1300w is just overkill.

The RM850x and RM1000x from Corsair are really good, I exlusively use the RMi/RMx series in all my builds.

Maybe that's not the best option. I like the Corsair HX series, something like the HX1000 but that's a little expensive. You can get the Corsair RM1000e.

 

And are you seriously buying that overpriced Asus Noctua card for 1600$? Just get the Zotach 4080 Trinity and ziptie 2 12cm fans to it. It will be the same and you will be 400$ richer without voiding its warranty

then a corsair rm1000x or evga supernova 1000 gt could be good options?

i am planning to add more storage and for the build to be up for many years

the gpu is a placeholder, it's not final, the main gist is that i will purchase a 4080, but thanks for the recommendation

i think i will get a corsair rm1000x then

The RM1000x would be my choice. It comes with 10 year warranty and is a very reliable unit. 
I use the RM750i/x in my system with a 4080 and the PSU has been working well since I bought it in 2016 and have used the RMx series in over 20 builds as I trust its reliability.

yeah the rm1000x would be good, has plenty of warranty years and the price is not bad either.

Also do consider the 14700KF instead if you have no uses of an iGPU. It would be the better choice unless you do need the iGPU for something.

PSU questions aside. I just want to mention that I absolutely love my RTX 4080. I bought it on release back in 2022 and I haven't regret it at all, even though the price to performance might not be the best its a damn fast card!  Its been stable, quiet, easily overclockable and an absolute dream to game on. I love this thing.

What RTX 4080 models have you been looking at?

i am looking forward for the 4080 super, but i am looking in getting a MSI ventus OC or a gigabyte gaming OC, those two brands until now haven't let me down, so the cheapest of the those two.

The Gigabyte cards have had a lot of issues with the PCB cracking near the PCIE slot. This might be fixed / reinforced on the Super cards however.
I own the MSI Gaming X Trio and its great, the ventus model is also very good.

If you're not planning on overclocking I don't see the need for you to go Z790. Paying extra for something you're not gonna use.

Also slow and slow memory for Intel. Consider swapping it.

Why not an ATX3.0 PSU? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4XsV3C/be-quiet-pure-power-12-m-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn505 is cheap and good.

Other decent ATX3.0 units, superior to the be quiet! and cheaper than a RM1000x.

For GPU - MSI RTX 4080 16GB VENTUS 3X is a good option. Have got one and it runs very cool.

I edit my posts more often than not

All will do equally well. You won't be able to tell them apart really.
Personaly I would go with the RM1000x or MSI MPG A1000G.
