Got a question

Go to solution Solved by DarkBlade2117,

Your PSU fine. That is a very good budget friendly PSU.

I hope you didn't buy the Mobo and AIO though.

Personally, should of saved some money and gone with a $120-$140 Asrock, MSI or Asus offering and went with a Cryorig H7 for cooling to save a bit of money. Mid-end AIOs like that are not worth it and the only 120-140mm AIOs that I find worth it are $100 and at that point you can get a 240mm for same price.

Just wondering if my power supply is enough, I bought it already but a friend told it wouldn't be enough for my build, I'm just confused now

You are fine.

 

If you look at your build list in pcpartpicker, on the right above the list you should see just to the right of the ligthening bolt, an estimate max wattage. This is a pretty good estimate of what will be needed to run the system. 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Your friend is wrong. That's almost double the power that you'll need.  If you can get the 550 model cheaper (what I have), do it. 

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

the 650w GQ is even enough for 1070 SLI, it's more than enough. i would recommend this if you haven't already got your other parts though.

Thank you very much, and I kinda already bought the mobo, havent bought the cpu cooler tho, I'll follow your advice and go for something cheaper, thanks again! 

 

Really liked your suggested build but damn I'm in too deep already. I picked the parts myself since I have no one really bothered to help me with it. I feel like a total noob, damn.

 

(I sorta already have my mobo, cpu, ram, psu, case, only missing my gpu, cpu cooler and storage)
