How much power for a custom loop?

[Ultra_Man52]

Hey everyone! I will be building a custom loop semi soon and I am wondering if I will need a new power supply. My current build is https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JbbKd6 and I am barely cutting it with the 750 watt power supply. I assume I need a new power supply right? This is probably obvious, but I want to save as much money as possible

While watercooling doesn't consume much power, I would advise replacing that PSU anyway. It's not a very good unit for higher power draw systems like yours. Look at something like an EVGA G2 850W

The only part tat takes power is the pump.

 

A pump shouldnt be more than 20W.

I would not consider this all in one watercooling solution a "custom loop".

 

Also, why 980 in SLI?

Edit: scrap that. That partpicker list is what you currently have.

Doesn't it make more sence to get the newest gen vid cards? Also considering frames per dollar?

Maybe he built this before 10 series was around? Just a thought.

I got both of these for $500, so frames per dollar is amazing for me. It's about the same performance and I don't mind SLI so I'm gonna stick with it

Yeha, as everybody said an 850G2 is a good choice but there are other options. An EVGA G3 is one of those ironically enough. The Seasonic M12 850W and X-series 850W are also near that price point as of late.
