What PSU should I get

[bamio]

Hey guys,

 

I am currently building my first PC and I have a problem. I don't know which PSU I should get:

 

That's my system:

 

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

 

CPU Cooler: Swiftech H240-X 90.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler 

 

Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII FORMULA ATX LGA1150 Motherboard 

 

Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory

 

Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 

 

Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

 

Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB STRIX Video Card (2-Way SLI)

 

Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB STRIX Video Card (2-Way SLI)

 

 

Are 760 Watts enough if I want to overclock?

How much are you willing to pay for a power supply?

EVGA G2 750W/850W

thats wayyyyyy overkill, its even overkill for Crossfire 290x

 

750w is fine but if you wanna be totally sure get an 850w

 

EVGA G2 series are the best

Since you're wanting to overclock, I'd say to go toward 1000W if you can afford it -- you're going to be looking at around 200 USD for such a PSU. At minimum I'd say go for an 850W. Check out JohnnyGuru.com for reviews.

EVGA 850G2 is best choice for 2x980 IMO.

My choice would be the Corsair AX760i which costs around 215 $

so anything in that price range

Something above 800 watts would do great, if you plane on upgrading or something, might consider getting more wattage then.

Overclocking with 2 980s.  Wouldn't say wayyyyy overkill.  While yes it is more than he needs it allows proper headroom, on a good quality psu for a good price ($159.99 w/ MIR)
