Help with the psu

[Gllomy12]

Thinking on building a new pc in the beginning of this summer and as most of people who are new to that kind of stuff i got confused on which power supply unit do i need.

These are the parts im thinking on getting:

Asus Maximus IX Formula LGA1151

Intel Core i7-7700K 4,2Ghz

G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3400Mhz 4x8 32Gt

Cooling NXZT Kraken x62

Case Corsair Crystal series 460x RGB

Samsung 850evo SSD 250gt

Seagate 1TB barracuda sata 6GB/s 

Asus Geforce Strixgtx1060-O6g-gaming

So and with the psu i was considering 

Corsair AX Series, AX860i or would it be enough of the AX760 

Im also considering on going SLI

 

Thank you for your help and time

Wait for Ryzen and Vega

Oh and Power Supply Unit = PSU, not PCU Just FYI

The power supply that you want is a good unit. It's tier 1 on this thread. 

Everything looks good. You have time to consider the coming Ryzen CPUs, which could give you what you want at a lower cost.

If like most people, you're building this PC for gaming, I'd suggest dropping down to an i5 7600k and getting a GTX 1070 instead. The Maximus Formula is also a pretty expensive board so you should probably think twice before getting it. 3400Mhz RAM won't help unless you run multiple virtual machines or something. For the PSU, I'd say even an EVGA G2 650w will do

Just a couple of things... I would definitely encourage reading some of the threads on the Cases and Power Supply section of the forum.  As for PSU, either the 860 or 760 will supply more than enough power for the whole system since the load figures are only around 380 Watts for this build.  Also, I would read up on whether you can even SLI a 1060.  My understanding is that you can only run two 1060's through the PCI-E Bus and they don't have direct SLI enabled.

I know not much about the stuff im just thinking to run two of 1060 or maybe later ill change to something better 

Maybe 1080 or even also two of them

The ram would help me with my school projects in which we use the virtual machine

Are you going to dedicate a 1060 to each VM? If not, you're probably better off just getting a 1070 or 1080 right now since the 1060's don't have the plugs to use an SLI bridge.  As for the VMs that you might be running, I think the major limiting factor that you'll encounter with those are going to be the number of cores/threads that you can dedicate depending on how many you intend to run simultaneously.

And also i did not look that up that the 1060 did not have the plugs 

Thanks for mentioning

All those spec and you just ended up with GTX1060?

Even then, 3400Mhz isn't going to show that much of an improvement from 2400Mhz, especially since you're getting an overkill 32GBs
