Hey guys,

 

I'm going to start my first build and there is only one thing left, the Power Supply.

I don't know how to choose the right one, with the right specs... Can you help me ?

 

My config is :

- Case : NZXT Manta

- CPU : Intel Core i5-8600K

- GPU : MSI GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X

- MB : Asus ROG Strix Z370-I GAMING

- RAM : G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000 MHz F4-3000C14D-16GTZR

- SSD : Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO - 500GB

- HDD : Seagate BarraCuda 256MB Cache - 4TB

- EKWB Water-Cooling Custom Loop :

   - Pump-Reservoir Combo : EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM

   - Radiator : 2×EK-CoolStream SE 240

   - Fans : 4×EK-Furious Vardar FF5-120 (3000rpm)

 

Thank you for your help

Before anyone said otherwise: that system, without OC, will draw around 250W. You do not need a hugely overpowered unit for that system.

 

An EVGA 550W G2/G3, Corsait TX550M, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, Bitfenix Whisper/Formula Gold, etc would be a good pick.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it. 

My system: PCPartPicker || For Corsair support tag @Corsair Josephor @Corsair Nick || My 5MT Legacy GT Wagon ||

For wattage, assuming a gaming load and overclocking, 450W is plenty. 

To choose the model, you'll ideally look at reviews. 

Without knowing what's available, the prices, or how much you want to spend, I'll recommend the Dark Power Pro 11 550W, Prime Ultra Titanium 650W, Straight Power 11 450W, Whisper M 450W, RM550x 2018, RM550x or Formula 450W. 

:)
