ITX Build - Power Recommendations

[johngo90]

Hi all,

 

I plan to convert my main ATX setup and down size it to a Micro-ITX build. After reading many reviews about SFX PSU's I have some concerns regarding the build. I would ideally like to use the Corsair SF600W PSU in the build, but I'm worried if that will be enough power, especially if I would like to overclock. Main usage is for gaming/streaming. 

 

The components of the build(that will draw power) will look like this:

- i7-4790K 

- 16GB RAM DDR3

- 1080 Ti

- Single 500GB SSD

- RGB LED Lighting

- NZXT X52 Watercooler

- MSI Z97i ac Mobo

 

What do you guys think? Will a 600W power supply give me enough juice for this build?

I think it would probably be fine, but I might swap it out just cause I believe the Corsair SF units are like tier 5 or 6. Silverstone makes some good SFF units.

I would stick with a Corsair psu. The Corsair SFX units are getting excellent reviews. See http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=477. The site gives the 450W unit a slightly higher score. Other reviews offer similar evaluations.
