I am going to be using PC 10 hours a day, streaming, and playing all sorts of games from demanding to not hard to run. I will be overclocking as well. I know that I need to be 20% off my PSU wattage while idol and 50-25% while gaming and streaming but I don't know what wattage, my build gives off. I feel like I am not calculating correctly. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MYKfHh

It's a bit on the high side.

No, all Calculators are way off.

 

With OC it depends on how far you want to take it. If you want to push it to the Limit and don't care if the Components die after 2 years, it might be possible to get that far.

 


But to be honest, you probably won't get that far if you want some OC that makes kinda sense. 

So that means that a 550W is more than enough.

 

As for the units:

Bitfenix Whisper M, Formula, be quiet Straight Power 11 if you are in Europe...

 

You don't need no 650W or 750W....

Go for a Seasonic or FSP PSU. They're extremely reliable 

And they also have some shitty units like the S12II up to 620W from Seasonic.

No Protection, rather loud, group regulated and priced in a range where you can get DC-DC from other Manufacturers...

 

So pls Stop recommending brands. ALL Brands have better or worse units, some are decent, some are shit...

 Recommend the units you think about!
