Hi,

 

I'm sorry, we can't view your shopping cart. Be sure to use http://pcpartpicker.com/ to put together your part list, so we can have a look.

 

Chances are your GS800 will be enough for the system.

I almost guarantee 800 Watts will be WAY more than you will need, although i can't see what is in your list...You would need the most power hungry CPU (say a 9590 AMD for example) and 2 top of the line graphics cards to needing that much power. Many people have a skewed look at PC building from these YouTube videos where they will build a system with 2 graphics cards and put in a 1200 Watt power supply which is just insane overkill...you would need that much for maybe 4 way SLI, for most people a nice high end CPU and high end Graphics card will only need around 400-500 watts.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Also it seems many people do not know about this handy website that you can type in exactly what you have and itll spit out a pretty accurate number of what you will need..

Like everyone else has said, 800W is a metric f**k ton of power in the majority of systems. Without looking at your build, I can confidently say you'll most likely be fine.
