New AMD build

[MrGamma195]

So im planning a new amd build with the new 1800x and a nitro Rx 480 im currently using a 650w supply as my current build has a h55 water cooler in it i was wondering if the new system would be fine with the 650w and if the water cooler would fit on the new board if seen reports where it will and some that say it wont has anyone used and am3+ cooler with the new am4?

get a 1700 and overclock it, basically the same thing at best you might get extra 200 to 400mhz overclock over a 1700.

do you know if a 650w power supply is overkill for this or not

650W is enough but what's your PSU model? A bad PSU may not be able to deliver its full power.

You would need to request an AM4 bracket from Corsair. Some boards such as the Asus Crosshair don't need a bracket as they have both sets of mounting holes.

You can get a bracket through corsair that allows you to mount their cooler on an am4 chip.
