Will my PSU be enough?

[madotter]

Hi guys,

 

This is my first post here so first of all, hello!

 

My current mobo has died (MSI Gaming 5 Z97) so I'm going to upgrade now (I was going to wait for Zen2 and Canonlake as my i7-4790K was doing fine) to an AMD Ryzen 2700X.

 

I just replaced my PSU as the old one was playing up, to a CORSAIR CX650 ATX PSU - 650W.

 

My question is, will it be enough for a 2700X which I plan to OC as far as it will go - so about 4.2-4.3Ghz.

 

The rest of my system specs are:

 

Asus Crosshair VII X470 (ordering with CPU)

Team Group Dark Pro " Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz (ordering with CPU)

Cooler Master MasterAir 8 CPU cooler

MSI GTX 1080Ti Gaming X

500GB Samsung 850 EVO (SATA M.2) SSD

250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD

1TB Western Digital HDD

 

Will the 650W I just bought be enough or do I need to sell it and go for a 750W or higher?

 

Thanks in advance,

Iain.

650 will be plenty even with some decent overclocks.

I'm very happy to hear that, I was getting worried I'd just blown some money on a PSU I can't use!!

 

Thank you very much for such a speedy reply!!

 

All the best,

Iain.

I do a lot of 4K video editing for my YouTube channel and I plan to do streaming too so it won't be wasted!

 

I'd never upgrade for gaming as like you said, the 4790K does just fine with a 1080ti!

If i calculate well, your PC costs around $2000 and you bought a $55 PSU? That's not very equillibrated. But yes, it should handle your PC well.
