How many watts

[Zoomv]

Hello guys i'm trying to put to getter a build with old parts like scrappyard wars but not that extreme.

parts are:

 

i7 3770k

z77 sabertooth

16gb corsair ram

2 x 980 g1 gaming

custom watercooled cpu

graphite 600t

120gb ssd

1tb hdd

 

and the power supply... i have no idea how big the psu should be keep in mind that i'll overclock cpu and gpu

 

 850watts?

1000watts?

 

[don_svetlio]

650W should be plenty - get something reputable like a SeaSonic S12G or G-series. M12II also works.

[itachipirate]

700w or more

[Zoomv]

is that enough for 2 980 and a overclocked i7?

[Ardy]

You should go with 850 at least, just to be sure.

i have really no idea but i think 1000 watts would be overkill

is 80+ bronze enough?

If you plan to OC the CPU and the GPU's the best thing is to go 850 at least, going overkill is not a problem your psu will run colder because of the low load.

That's just efficiency, the PSU is OK, but if you're willing to spend more get the G2: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20750xr

Also yes, I'm counting OC

[GM_Peka]

I vote 700 watts

[don_svetlio]

For 2 (I didn't read) go with 750-800W.

in my country the cheapest 850watt power supply is the cooler master 80+ gold.... so are 850watts enough or do i need 1000?

[itachipirate]

Yep. The quality of this power supply is crazy

Which cooler master power supply? Honestly, a SeaSonic S12G 750W (like mine) should be more than capable of handling that as it's made for SLI setups - 4 6+2 pins and about 700W on the +12V rail. It's good quality and reliable - 5 yea warranty and almost 80+ plat

You'll be fine on 750W. Make sure you get a decent PSU and you can check out the PSU whitelist in my sig.

actually it's the same psi as linus used for his 4k build with dual 780ti and 4930k it's the v850 from cooler master 80+ gold

There's only one problem i to power a 980 g1 gaming i need 2 8 pin connector but i have 2 980 are there enough connectors on the psu?

the S12G 750W has 4x6+2 pins so 4x8-pin yes. No idea about the CM.

but are 750w enough for 2 980 and a oc i7?

[don_svetlio]

but are 750w enough for 2 980 and a oc i7?

Of course, I can put 2x 280s easily. My system uses 400-450W max. 2x 980 uses around 450-500W so you will be using around 600W total. Therefore there is enough headroom.

[don_svetlio]

Keep in mind that SeaSonic underspects their units - the S12G 750W can pull a stable 800W with ease but it shouldn't be pushed that far if you ask me. it's also very efficient thank to the quality components and such so it won't be an issue, Among the best PSUs on the market. Don't believe me? See for yourself.
