Hello guyz,

 

My build will have Maximus Vi Formula,i7-4770k, Crucial SSD M4 256GB, WD HDD Caviar Black 2TB, G.Skill Ripjaws X series 32GB Ram, Blueray drive and maybe I'll have additional DVD/CD drive, Corsair H100i radiator,Hot swapable bay for both HDD and SSD, Haven't really decided about the graphics card yet but definitely going for a single graphics card, Not really sure about Overclocking but I may step forward to it.

 

Is the AX860i enough for me? Or shall I go higher to AX1200i?

 

Thanks in advance.

why do you need 32 gb of ram? 16 should be plenty for rendering and stuff.

Because I'll be running virtual machines in it, training and labs mostly if you'll wonder why would I run virtual machines.

A 650W like a XFX Core 650w would be more than enough if you are only going with a single card configuration.

I would say go with the AX860i :) I went with the 1200i myself only to find that my system didn´t demand half of it... :(

So 860w is the highest I would go :)
