So I rewatched old videos from Techquickie and I watched the PSU FAP, and Linus recommended looking at this site for knowing what kind of PSU you need for your system, so I tried my luck and this is my result. https://outervision.com/b/buMLTd Note: I have a 650W EVGA 80+ Gold PSU and Idk if Im being bamboozled or not xD
EDIT: Turns out I turned the knob to the max on the overvoltage, it should be 8% and not 50%. Which would give me around 600 Watts on load, which is perfect for my 650W PSU. And I know it adds more wattages than necessary but I like playing on the safe side for future upgrades. Thank you for your guys' input! :D

This is mine according to that site

Not even close, I barely hit 500 stress testing AIDA + FurMark, and my PSU is overkill since it was from my old FX build

ASUS X470-PRO • R7 1700 4GHz • Corsair H110i GT P/P • 2x MSI RX 480 8G • Corsair DP 2x8 @3466 • EVGA 750 G2 • Corsair 730T • Crucial MX500 250GB • WD 4TB

Outervision isn't accurate. Get a Kill-O-Watt and plug your PC into it under full load. Do the math to calculate how much is being drawn from your PSU (wall outlet draw is higher due to PSU efficiency).

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

That may have been the issue lmao 

No, the issue is that you used a PSU calculator at all. All of them are completely useless and overestimate by a ton. A 1600/1080 system would draw under 300W at load.

It is OCed to a ton tho. That said, I like site like these since my PC now is my first PC, so I literally know nothing about PC Parts or building. But I understand your POV.

300W is what you would expect under a gaming load with everything overclocked. Not 1000W.

OP's build supposedly puts out more than mine. https://outervision.com/b/XDNFFr

 

I really hope people aren't buying their suggestions...
