That gives you plenty of room and doesn't stress the PSU. Pushing the psu to 90-100% of its output may in theory sound okay because good ones are designed to do that but doing that always ups the risk that something gets pushed just too far and breaks and the psu takes out half the system with it. So if I were you I would look into at least 650W psu probably 700-750. And if you are spending that much on a graphics card I would certainly find at least a gold 80+ psu preferably platinum because they have better more reliable parts in them." @Hunter7263 " Benchmarks ive seen say about 400W totally system pull on a with an i5. 500W is cutting it close Id suggest 600-650 ish." @Hunter7263 those....^ Jesus... who wrote this? Why do you want your peak power at 70%? What are you gonna do with that unused 30% potential? Feed the cows? Quote That gives you plenty of room and doesn't stress the PSU.

Yeah, like what? Black magic? The power consumption is calculated at every component's peak utilization rate. There is no way a component will pull more power than it is physically designed for, or it'll simply burn itself. On that note, most modern PSUs have overload protection, so the most you'll get is an abrupt shut down. Look, I'm not bashing you for what you are referencing, it's just those people who wrote their "recommendations". Either they are just paranoid, or they are simply misinformed.

Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Technically, Windows OS keys are only supposed to be used once, anyways, under the agreement. Like the OEM gets locked to your motherboard the retail key is allowed on one PC at a time, but you can reuse it and reinstall it as many times as you need to. I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly... Spoiler What is your budget/country for your new PC? what monitor resolution/refresh rate? What games or other software do you need to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
