thanks

750W, but what's your CPU and monitor resolution/refresh rate?

[r2724r16]

It's a very suspicous looking 750W unit, and I wouldn't use it at all.

 

Can it handle a GTX 1180, it mostly can.

[Wh0_Am_1]

That is a 750 watt PSU and yes it should support a GTX 1080  AS LONG AS THE REST OF THE PC DOES NOT 500WATTS,  though I recommend caution because I have never heard of that PSU brand before.

My cpu is an i7 6700k I run 2 monitors one of them is 144hz and the other is 60 both 1920x1080

FSP is a generally alright PSU OEM, one of the biggest in fact if I remember right, like super flower/seasonic

You don't need a GTX 1080 for even a 1080p 144hz display.

 

What's your current GPU?

[Jurrunio]

no datasheet or website (not even FSP's) to tell what model this is so I cant judge it, absolutely great.

 

750w units are wayyy more than enough for your system (even 500w will do), I just dont know if this unit is any good.

It’s a GTX 980 but is broken so I took the chance to get a 1080 whilst it was on sale

depends on the game, dont jump to that conclusion so fast

It's a bit overkill, you'd probably be fine with just like an RX 580, or used 980ti at around $300

At ultra maybe, at more reasonable medium-high settings even a 1060/580 should be fine

Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it

Yeah I guess I saved 200 pound because it was on sale but it already been ordered and is coming tomorrow so I can’t change it now

This power supply Is rated to be able to provide 750 watts of power at the highest, this will definitely be more than enough to power a GTX 1080 or even the GTX 1080Ti although the rest of your system and how much wattage it takes will also factor in addition to the wattage that the GPU will take. I would recommend using Outervision Power Supply Calculator in order to find the wattage that your entire configuration of components will draw and what they recommend your PSU to be rated at so that it can consistently be able to power your components. If your system takes 549 watts (for example) you might want to go with a 600 watt or higher rated power supply in order to provide stable and consistent power to your system.

 

 

Hope that this information helps - @Boomwebsearch

I had a huge reply typed up but then my shitty Comcast router decided to brick itself for a few minutes...

 

TL;DR, Cooler Master's Calculator is garbage. Don't use it. It wildly exaggerates power demands of a system.

SF and Seasonic are quite small. But yeah, FSP/Fortron/Fortech is big

That sounds like a high wattage, low end PSU. Wich is essentially bullshit.

Because you want quality first and don't need no 750W for most Single CPU/GPU Systems. 

So a good quality 550W unit would be the better choice.

 

And you have to get a good quality 80plus Gold unit.
