650 or 750W

[gekco]

I currently have a 650W power supply, Corsair RM650x and I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to upgrade to a 750W PSU. My system specs is as follows:

ASUS Strix GTX 1060 OC 6GB

Ryzen 5 1600

Asus B350 Strix 

8GB x2 DDR4 2666

2TB WD Black HDD

 

I don't plan on overclocking at all, from my understanding 650W should be enough for this system correct?

I mean if its like a 650w non certified generic PSU, yeah upgrade,  otherwise, I dont see a need to.... unless its on sale for like 20 bucks or something.

Yup, more than enough. But if you can afford the 750w, it'll allow you more headroom when it comes to upgrades down the road.

650W is way plenty for this system, even 550W would be fine. The RM650X is also a very high quality unit, so there would be almost zero reason for you to switch to a 750W.

650W is about triple what that system will draw without OC. It's more than double what it would with OC. Don't bother with a 750W.

Dude you could add another 1060 and still have plenty head room. (Is SLI still a thing btw? Not sure)

An RM650X is 80+ Gold. That considered as a good PSU.

The 1060 doesn't support SLI, never has

Get a powermeter. 

Those things are cheap ant you know what your PC consumes.

 

What you need is something around 300-350W, what you want is a 400-450W because there ain't no good quality units under 400W on the market right now.

Correct, that is only supported by the GP104 chips (1070 and up).

But even if it was possible, 650W would have been more than enough.

Hell I've used 650W for two Tahiti in their GHz version with a 650W...

Well, if you did read it you should have written that differently. 'if it was like' 'yeah you should/ I'd' The way you wrote it implies you didn't read it.

Alright everyone thanks for the comments, I will stick with my 650 watt PSU.
