How many watts

[Whoknowsbruh]

Im building my first gaming pc and I want to know How do I know how many watts I need for my build?

[HKZeroFive]

Kinda hard to say without showing the actual build...

[rhyseyness]

Depends on your components.

What you using?

Processor and graphics card(s) are most important when considering power supply wattage.

We need specs to know how much your parts use power...

It's a top notch PSU.

 

If you can afford another $5, you can grab the G2 model which is better than the GS model: Link

The G2 is made by SuperFlower (and is often regarded as the better unit) whilst the GS is made by Seasonic. The G2 also has a slightly longer warranty (7 years vs 5 years).
