PSU Help

[leekas123]

Good day,

 

    Trying to ask for advice on how many watts (PSU) would run my build would 500w be enough? " ROG Strix 1080 8 OC Gaming VGA , i7 7700 CPU , msi H270 PC MATE mobo , 16gb ram , 1tb hhd )  went to a local store and kept on arguing with me that with this build especially on this graphic card I need atleast a 750w PSU. * not really into lighting, rgbs , just want to run my game fluidly *

If the 500w is reputable, it will be enough.

Choose from Tier 3 and above.

You do not need 750w. Unless you're planning to run 2 cards, then you will be OK with a reputable 500W - 650W

currently residing in japan , the IT tech was shoving a silver rated local brand that has 750 w(around 90$) . but I was eyeing for the 500 Bronze Crosshair PSU(50-60 , )

 

PC PARTS ARE 20-30$ more EXPENSIVE UP Here.

Check the PSU tier list in my signature and try to find something from tier 3 or above. I know that PC parts are expensive outside North America but you still have to allocate a proper amount of money to a decent PSU so that you don't end up with a dead unit that might take out other parts.

 

Can you get EVGA, Seasonic, or Corsair units where you live?

Much appreciated, didn't want to spend 40$ more for something that didn't make sense.

Tier 1 is the best, 7 is worst.
