Do I have enough power?

[Johnmakuta]

This is my build after the parts I just ordered arrive:

I will be adding more to this build but this is it for at least a few months. I plugged it all into pcpartpicker to show a friend when I realized my 600 watt power supply might have trouble with this thing pushing over 500.

 

Do I need a larger power supply?

What would you suggest?

I plan on Watercooling very soon so should I just get a 750 watt or do I need more of a 1000 or 1300

You should be fine but if you plan on any heavy overclocking I would look into getting a 750 watt or so

depends on if the PSU is any good. What is the full model name?

 

A 5820 with 770 shouldn't push more than about 400W when overclocked so as long as it's not a total POS, it should be fine.

 

Why not get a Samsung 950 Pro at that price of SSD, NVME drive for $15 more..

Don't understand that...

I already had the Predator laying around before NVMe was even released. These are all parts I have, not parts I plan on buying. 

 

 

And and trust me, I'm annoyed as ever that there's an NVMe drive that's cheaper than my PCIe m.2

I do plan on doing some overclocking in the future. All I know about my current power supply is that it's EVGA, 600 watts, and bronze certified.

Thats a B1 unit, the 500 and others were terrible but the 600 had some upgraded components.. Sufficient I would say, no more than that.

Bit odd to have an x99 build with 32GB ram and so on a $50 PSU... It'll run it but I wouldn't overclock or strain it and I'd look at replacing before an expensive GPU, you can get great quality units for $60 - $90 (EVGA B2, G2, GS, P2 (the 750W P2 is $90 at newegg atm...)

It's because this has been a continually updated build and that's the one part I haven't upgraded in a long time.

Try this, learn, gain knowledge and understand why, not just a suggestion that someone told you

That calculator is about 150 W too high at least..
