You should roughly be around 470W at max load so the 860i is more than enough. You could even go for a 750W PSU if you don't plan to add another video card down the road!

 

PC Partpicker, when you add all your parts should give you a number for power draw!

An EVGA 650G2 would save you a hell of a lot of money.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

PSU max efficiency is rated at 50% load. So the AX850i is the better option for a 470w load. The 750w PSU is  also a good  option. 

 

I´ll go with the 850.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it. :D
