Hey everyone,

 

Just wanting to get your guys opinion on what power supply wattage i should go with,

I will be running

 

i7 4790

Asus Rampage VII HERO

8gb G.Skills ram

Corsair H100i cpu cooler

120gb samsung evo 840 SSD

2tb WD hdd

and currently no Graphics card

 

Just really wanting to know if it will be okay going with a Corsair RM450 for now ????

and yes i will eventually be getting a graphics card but later on which will be a gtx 780ti and dont mind upgrading PSU later on

I am in New Zealand and do want a fully modular PSU

okay so think ill go with a RM650 cause i found one that was cheaper than the 550, also yes i know go 4790k BUT i was unable to find anywhere in NZ that had one in stock they were all sold out or hadnt had any at all or i would have went and got one, also didnt wanna get one from overseas cause thats more of a headache than anything and cause the original plan was to go 4770k but decided to just go with the 4790 yeah cannot OC but for now its okay.

i regret it now as i type BUT i needed something now and i can upgrade but most/all companies and shops i talked to said they only received X amount of them and they were all pre sold and that most had no idea when they would get new stock or some were not getting anymore till December but if i can find one in NZ in the next few months i have no problem upgrading and passing the non OC to my brother in law, in saying that i would say im a real noob when it comes to this tbh its my first build and im happy with what i went with, is the difference between the two that significant? and why?. also gives me time from now to then to do more research on OCing that certain cpu for when i upgrade cause as i said im a noob and when it comes to OCing i know next to nothing about it really apart from you get more performance from a OC cpu

Ocing doesn't effect that much other then a few frames in games but people will argue otherwise

OKay well i will eventually upgrade to the 4790K but for now im fine losing a few frames plus my main game i do play is League of legends so im guessing i could do decent enough for now and better than my shitty laptop ive been using even with the built in graphics maybe as well if not il just get something little like a 750ti or something
