Is it enough?

Hey so in 3 weeks one of my sons will become 11 years old and i have planned to suprise him with a pc. It will be built with some spare parts lying around the house and this system is going to have the 5930k in it one of my favorites right now. And of course i want to overclock it! BUUUUUUT(T) I have a problem, the system is going to be using 811 watts and I only got the hx850i so what i'm worried about is that the overclock is going to draw to much power and zap itself! Is that going to happen pls tell me if that is the case then i will just upgrade to the hx1000i no problem!

Yeah.....I also think the 5930k is a bit overkill, but if that's all you have lying around I guess 'yolo'. And as Skyward said, I'd be looking at a bigger PSU if you really need to oc it. Also, what other parts are you going to run in the build?

If you are gonna do some overclocking get a larger power supply. Also, that is one lucky 11 year old.

holy shit does your 11 year old render 10 videos at once and play Crysis 3 at 4k at the same time???

 

And, yeah, I would definitely consider getting a 1000watt PSU

What do you think!? I have used them before! Or i just bought them on sale in case of hardware failure.

I guess my poor person mentality makes me think this is weird.
