Go to solution Solved by OAcesync,

So do you think the EVGA 850 watt is to much? 

but having those 850 watt wouldn't it mean that i wont have to upgrade in the furture? 

i currently have a Coolermaster B700 atm, but do u think that is enough ?

I would upgrade since you don't really have a good quality PSU atm but there's not exactly any harm in going overkill on wattage

Even 650W would be adequate so I would go for 750W

So do you think the EVGA 850 watt is to much? 

but having those 850 watt wouldn't it mean that i wont have to upgrade in the furture? 

i currently have a Coolermaster B700 atm, but do u think that is enough ?
