How much wattage required?

[AndreBex]

Would that 400w PSU be enough for the hardware in the system?

Yes but I'm not certain of that PSU. Get something in the whitelist in my signature. You should be able to find an Antec Earthwatts or Seasonic S12 for not hugely more. A Corsair CX430M if you can find it is a good PSU for your system.

250~300 is probly overkill

[Mobby Dick]

I think 400w is just right so you can upgrade your pc in the future  

I don't know if noise is something important for you, but a psu can be louder than you might think. So if this is sth important for you I would stend a bit more money.

JIC you didn't even buy the parts:
It doesn't include storage and kept that case, as your build:

Would the Cooler Master B500 V2 500w or the Be Quiet! System Power S6 450W be good enough? Sorry I dont have a link

What I meant is to not take a PSU with cheap internals, your system won't pull above 200W

But those PSUs..., the B500 isn't good and the S6 is kind old (I'm wondering where are you getting one...) and also under certain loads voltages can get out of ATX spec., I'd take one of those 430 W EVGAs (100-W1-0430-KR) instead of that

So you mean this one? http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorkomponenter/230994-corsair_powersupply_cx430_v3_430w&atcl=external:ref

 

I had the impression that the corsair psu with the green stickers on them were bad... Maybe I was just misinformed

I said Evga, not corsair, even pasted the P/N. In that site: http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorkomponenter/235776-evga_430w

And you're true, the thing behind them is low temperature rating.

Thank you! You were very helpful, sorry for having to deal with my retardness

For the non 750 watt models that is only at full load at 30C, not at full load its 40C and they have no problem powering through either. The 750 watt one however shuts down at ~40C at close to full load, yuck.

I'm thinking of doing an overhaul on my rig, according to pcpartpicker the total  I'll be pulling is 584W.

I plan to have:

 i7 6850k

Asus Sabertooth X99

2 MSI GTX 1080 Areos in SLI

16GB Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000

 

I currently have an EVGA Supernova 750W PSU, I plan to overclock everything pretty hard, and was wondering if this would be enough as I've read some forums about some people's power consumption double on a component from overclocking.

To op; the chosen power supply should be fine; however you can pickup much better power supplies at that price; the cx430 goes for $25 after mir in Canada

After checking the US pc part picker I'd recommend spending the extra few dollars to get one of the following instead  Corsair CX500 29.99 or  EVGA 500B 29.99.

I've used models of the same product line of both these units. The corsair is generally quieter but can have a coil whine on load; the 500b seems to be slightly more efficient; in this particular scenario I'd pick the Evga; every time I purchased an evga PSU they included a free game [rise of the triad] you can use the s/n and register an account, refer yourself and register a new account for 2 evga bucks x2[their store credit, the referee and referee both got](some of these things may have changed, it has been 2 years) and EVGA has a longer manufacturer warranty generally. BTW you'd only need a 250watt power supply for this system; but the best price/performance for a new psu would be those listed above; and it leaves you headroom to upgrade to any single dedicated gpu system.

As for Dae I'd recommend at least a 600watt psu; your 750 watt leaves up to 200 watt headroom, no less than 100 watt headroom. Depending on clocks and other specifications. This may change when unlocked bioses arrive for the GPUs however.

Make your own thread please instead of de-railing someone else's.

Both are kind of sub-par units. I'd recommend the new CX450M (grey label) or an EVGA B2 of some sort.

Please explain why they're sub-par?

Just because you want a modular unit?

He'd be splurging almost double for this useless feature. His case has no window, and  you can make a clean build without modular cables.

Because of the internal component quality. The CX (green label) tends to shut down above 30 dec C and people have reported it blowing up on them and the EVGA one would be fine for low end builds but not something that'll be getting upgrades (it even falls short of the 80 PLUS mark of efficiency)

Both units are about 85% efficient; and I'm currently using the cx 430 without issue. I have used the evga bronze 650, gold1 650, gold1, 750, gold1 and gold11000  without any issues.

Just because you haven't had any issues with them doesn't mean they're good. And Jonnyguru did a review on the EVGA 430, it failed the 80 PLUS test.

[chaython]

We're talking specifically about the 500w model; I believe EVGA had 3 different suppliers for their power supply units in this sku [for the varying wattage].... The slight difference in quality between the generation, is not worth the additional price; look at how low budget this system is. Both of these companies have a great track record of customer service; and I couldn't recommend anything else in this price range.

The reviews are great everywhere I've looked especially on PC part picker.

I'm not sure how the LTT forums feel about affiliate codes; however here's my EVGA one for when/if you register your power supply unit
