Overkill for the long term ?

[TheNewOne]

Hi everybody good afternoon !

 

There is currently an opportunity for me to switch from a EVGA 650W GS Gold PSU to EVGA 850 W G2 Gold for a good price before it is too late.

 

I am the kind of guy who likes to keep the material I bought for as long as possible (the PC I am using atm is 10 years old with small RAMS,GPU,PSU upgrades), I am building my first PC setup with theses specs:

 

Motherboard: ASUS X99 A-II

CPU: I7 5820K

RAM: 32GBS Corsair Vengeance LPX

GPU: MSI GeForce 1070 Gaming X

Fans: Around 6 (3x140mms 4x120mms)

No Leds.

 

As Peripherals:

1xHD 1080p Logitech Webcam

1xMicrophone (Blueyeti)

1xHyper Could II Gaming Headset

1xCorsair K7 Rapidfire

1xRazer deathadder Chroma

1xLogitech speakers

2xBenQs 1ms 24inch Monitors (one 144hz and one 60hz)

 

Overall, with pcpartpicker and a test website, It suggested that my basic comsumption would be around 430w ish.

But as I want to think ahead, and to optimize the things I bought for a usage as long as possible,

I don't know if for the future, a 650w GS Gold would still be the thing for my rig. (Would possibly want to try VR games too)

 

I heard that the optimal use of a PSU is between 40 and 60% of its maximum capacity..

 

What do you guys think ?

 

Thanks for your time,

 

TheNewOne.

EVGA G2/GS units are great, get the 650w version.

I think we're going to see components become more power-efficient, not less. You still have a couple hundred watts of headroom there, and I think general power consumption is going to stay the same or go down as we move forward, so if you're concerned about budget then 650w should be fine. If you have the extra money to put into it anyway (which I imagine you might, since you're going for X99) then sure, jump up to the 850w.

The sound quality and mic build quality is just awful. 

What would you rather get instead?

Thanks for the suggestions

 

I choosed to go for a 850W upgrade for a special price !

 

Btw, for the mic, the audio technica 1020 I wanted was way more expensive at the moment than the Blue Yeti, that is why I went for the Yeti !
