Will a 450w be enough for a overclocked 6700k and GTX 1080

[Guest]

The title says it all- will the corsair cxm 450w be enough for both of these parts, or is a major price and wattage leap to the m12ii 520w from seasonic be worth the extra cost? is there a good middle ground? i'd prefer modularity but semi is enough and if its a better, i'd go with on modular (If cheaper). keep in mind these are hypothetical upgrades from this build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/BYLnwV.

Yeah 450W should be fine, that's what's in mine.

With no overclock the system should be fine, but i would buy a 600w PSU if you want to "future proof" the build, and allow some headroom for overclocking.

Barely tbh

Hmm, feels risky to me. 550watt is recommended.

It can work, but with OC on everything something in the 550-650W is recommended for some headroom.

[Mr.Meerkat]

It will work but erm...a tad close? 

I mean the worst that could happen is the OCP tripping...unless it doesn't then possible bang...

 

500(+)Watt PSU suggestions:

Antec True Power Classic 550W for 60 would be a decent choice  

Bequiet straight power E10 550W

seasonic s12ii or m12ii w/ 620 & 520 watts respectively?

I'm talking about the CX450M

So in that case https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze or https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze?

I know, i was asking whether the 620w non modular or the 520w modular would be better. id prefer modular but if its a little close, ill go with the 620

S12II would be fine as they cost cheaper but have more wattage

520w? Specifically seasonic m12ii 520w modular? is that enough

Your call

Yep, the system will use about 350-450watts~ (depending on the clockspeeds) so...you now do indeed have a nice buffer

Good. The 1080 was actually a typo anyway, i meant 1070 but that just means more buffer especiallyas i might xfire my rx 480 if i get one
