Wattage Help

[TheReallgtfaded]

I basically need help or a suggestion of how much power I would need

 

Ok so as of now im about to order a pc with a gtx 750 ti, amd fx 6300 but i plan on upgrading when the 1060 comes out and then getting a 8350 or higher

 

So what would be a good power supply to get so i wont have to upgrade that too later

 

im thinking 600-750 would be fine right?

Its kinda hard to buy stuff for a product that hasn't been announced yet, but since gpus are now becoming more power efficient. I would say that a 600 watt PSU would be fine for it, but don't quote me. 750 should be overkill

[AresKrieger]

600 is plenty for a single gpu, 550 would also be fine just get a good quality one, the top three tiers in the list I have in my sig are good.

Thank you

Don't get the fx 6300, you will be disappointed

 

I built 3 6300 machines and with all of them, the processor is the bottleneck

Lol its fine as of now im just buying this then probably getting the 8350 or the 9530

Cooler master's V-series or a EVGA. 750 is almost overkill and 600 will be good. Just remember that the efficiency is quite important (gold, silver or bronze). Also I would recommend upgrading entirely to skylake instead of going with ''dying'' hardware technology. The intel equivalent out performs the AMD side when it comes to most things like gaming. Also we don't know for sure that there ever will be a ''1060''. AMD's polaris rX 480 will be what you're looking for.

Oh i thought the 1060 was confirmed? and i hope their not over rating that rx 480 but their making it seem like its powerful

700 Probably If you plan on upgrading.

and what do you recommend for the skylake like the i3? or a g4500

Well the 480 is going to be powerful we don't know how much, yet. It's the latest technology and weather it's what you hoped for or not it still comes with good features as what AMD claims to be ''good'' VR experience. Also I strongly recommend not to get that processor. No fanboy here but that socket is going to die out. The processor itself is more than year old techology and it still uses ddr3 and etc.

so basically i should get a cheaper 1151 processor so i can upgrade to a badass one later

A 6600 (k if you want to overclock) would be the dream. otherwise a 6500 is also as good just with no k and less clock speeds. They both are pretty close cost wise to the 8350. But you also need a new motherboard and get a cheap one. and ddr4 memory.

 Yeah like a g440 and some ddr4 memory and a h110 motherboard or somehting in those lines.

Yes, AM3+ still only has pci-e 2.0 as well.

That won't solve the problem of shitty IPC on the FX series CPUs. Get an Intel i5.

Even an i5 6400 would be a significantly enormous upgrade.

750W could power about 11 750tis and one 8350. Absolutely overkill for that. For a 1060 you'll likely see a few versions of the card coming out with no external power needed, already happened to the GTX 950. A Seasonic S12 is totally fine for your needs.
