Tadziunia

Hey tech community, i decided to take Corsair RM850x 80+ gold full modular power supply in next week. But am not 100% i want to buy PSU, which will be reliable for long period of usage. And it won't die. Is there anything better for same price or a bit more ? what do you use ? please every opinion is important

Seasonic focus plus gold 650/750/850 is my preference when it comes to a high quality and affordable PSU. (650w for 1 gpu, 850w for 2)

maybe you missunderstood me. I currently have corsair vs650 it's budget psu, which doesn't sound right and it isn't effiecient. Am planning to take RM850X next week. But not sure, maybe there is something better for the price. I don't know. if i won't find anything better, ill stick to my decision

For a single CPU/GPU system, that's a waste of money.

 

You want something around 550W.

If Nvidia's path of having about the same power draw as they have for the last five years, then you'll be fine on a 550W. A 1080Ti and 8700K can be overclocked on a 550W PSU without issue.

 

Two in SLI should be fine on a 750W unit. However, SLI is usually just a headache and I don't recommend it.

Yes that's true, but i play mostly battlefield series, and it's usually good at scalling with two gpu's. So am i would be fine :)
