How much extra power does it take to overheat my computer?
Look at this link for my PC parts. How much power do I really need if I want to overheat my CPU and GPU just enough to feel it?
to go with power supplies, don't just look at watts; check the total amp rating on the 12v line. As shown by the mods... getting too close to the max load can make things get hotter and louder. In real life, if you can push a unit to about fifty percent, that's the sweet spot for most stuff. A 750-watt system should be fine for now. If your plan includes an SSD stick, go with an M.2 drive just for speed. Faster read speeds help gaming load times way more than anything else. For RAM, aim for 3200 or 3600 stock speed at 1.25 volts. Some older 3000-series sticks need higher voltage to run at their rated overclocked speeds. Don't buy a new GPU yet until you get more info from Nvidia first.
