New power supply

[KristianDK]

Hi.

 

I need a new power supply for my new system. 

I have looked at "Cooler master power supply calculator" and it says 750 watt.

I have seen many videos where they say that you should only get a power supply there is 100 watt above what you need.

I'm thinking if a 750 watt is too much, because i'm only using about 480 watt.

Right now I'm useing a AMD rx 280, but my plan in the future is to get a GTX 1080 but it's uses less power, and cooler master power calculater still recommend a 750 watt.

Is a 750 watt too much or should I choose a 750 watt. 

Maybe you've got some suggestions for a good full modular power supply, that don't make so much noise. 

 

Thanks in advance.

It recommends a 530W

I'd grab either a 600 or 650W for some headroom.

 

Here you will find what you need to know about getting a new one:

Since I see a 6700K entered I have to guess thats also in your system. It is more handy for us if we know specs so pls mention them next time.

 

Anyway any single card system with current or last 2-3 gens parts currently does not need that much (unless someone does add some very special stuff). Overall range of 550-650w is good enough even with OC.

 

Because of possible available connectors on PSU I overall select 650W PSU unless I need soemthing to cut off money and take a cheaper lower W variant (note here that I don't scimp on quality, since a good PSU is worth the money). Those overall don't miss 8 pin GPU connectors etc. Lower can also have them but you must check specs then.

A 6700k and 280 would use around 300-350W max. An EVGA 550W GS/G2 or 650GQ/750B2 would be fine for you.
