Is 650w enough for full custom loop ?

Hey everybody,

 

So about to do a new build specs:

 

Cpu: 8700k OC hopefully 5 ghz 

Mobo: Asus strix z370e 

Gfx: 1080ti OF

Hdd: 1 TB ssd + 250 gb m.2

Ek d5 pump with 2x 360 rads so turned up a bit

6x 120mm rgb fans

About 5 usb

27 inch 1440p monitor

2x 15 cm Rgb led strips

Corsair mouse + keyboard

 

I was about to buy the seasonic prime 650 watt platinum (not titanium) but now I'm worried that 650 watt is cutting it top short with all the components OC? The wattage calculator says like 750w but I would need to jump up to the 850 watt which would be another $130 here but I'm worried about not having enough and potentially causing coil whine with full load with 650 watt.

 

Just wondering what people's thoughts are. 

 

Cheers.

650W is more than enough. Platinum is super overkill though.

You do realize that monitors have there own power cables right

Haha yeah, honestly I didn't think it had anything to do with it. Just on one of the site calculators it had it as an option so I thought ah well i'll include it xD

Platinum PSU is pretty overkill, and i'd personally say two 360 rads is pretty overkill too unless you plan to add a second GPU.

are you more likely to get coil whine though if your using close to that 650 watt limit? or is that something I have conjured up in my head?

You can get coil whine (or not) at any load level, it's really a matter of luck.
