i like to play it safe. 

The guy said power cost is not an option. It also depends which 1080ti he is going with. and no idea what cooling system he is going for.

You do realise that a higher wattage PSU doesn't mean more power is drawn from the wall? The PSU will only draw as much power as what it needs.

 

And 750W is easily enough for what someone could do on a high end dual 1080ti setup on air, and if he is doing bios modding and custom water cooling, he should know what he's doing, so this question wouldn't have been asked.

Don't get me wrong i see your point of view and its valid.

I'm not going against it and i respect your opinion and your views.

i understand your point of view and my opinion still stands i as a person still preffer being on the safe side of things.

If he wants to go with a 750 or 800w psu its fine by me its his equipment.

No it doesn't as the system will probably be around 600W, so why should it be safer to have 250W Headroom instead of 150W?! Pls explain!

 

And the last time I put two graphics card in a PC I measured something like 530W or so for the Secondary side with my two HD7970GHz+280x and the Ryzen 1700x...

 

So you should get a power meter and measure and stop guessing and assuming.

I have an OCD when it come to tight or going as minimal as possible and with un even things.

Put it this way, you wouldn't buy a 12TB HDD for grandma's computer, where the only thing she does on it is check on her grand children on facebook and skype, because she will never get even close to using it all, so it's just a waste of money, especially since a reasonably sized SSD for her needs will be cheaper, and faster.

 

So why would you recommend someone spend 50% more on a PSU just because it has a higher number on the side, especally like grandma, you can get a better product for the same price or less?

still, get a powermeter to look at what a PC actually uses.

Its much more energy efficient than you think - well, if you don't OC of course...

Things are getting more power efficient and using less power the smaller they get.
