Check your current power supply and consider upgrading if you plan to overclock. Your PSU is an older part from a previous build; if you decide to improve it, a newer model would be advisable.

I've always appreciated EVGA products. My 750w unit is paired with my 8700k / 1080 and performs perfectly. I've owned it for at least two years without any issues. For overclocking, if you're worried about temperatures, it's wise to monitor them now and consider upgrading if needed, based on your budget. An 850w model would likely suffice for your needs. It's always better to have a newer device than an older one.

You have a high-end setup and are using a budget PSU? Consider switching to a Seasonic Focus Gold 750, EVGA G2/G3 750, or Corsair TX/RM 750. Haha, sorry about that. Thanks for the advice!

For overclocking, if you're worried about temperatures, check them now—if they're a bit higher, consider upgrading, depending on your budget. An 850w model would likely work just fine for your needs. Plus, it's always better to have the latest gear than an older one.

750 is acceptable, and 600 is also okay. Just grab Seasonic, I don't understand why you're so focused on EVGA, but Seasonic is clearly the top choice for PSUs.

750 works just fine, and 600 is also acceptable. I'm grabbing a Seasonic, honestly, I don't understand why you're so focused on EVGA, but Seasonic is clearly the top choice for PSUs. Corsair's options aren't great either.

It varies by model; the CX/CXM aren't bad but are budget options. For quality, I'd prioritize TX, RMx, HX, and AX first.

Depends on the model, the CX/CXM aren't bad but are budget options. For quality, I would prefer TX, RMx, HX, and AX at the top. The RMx or TX will likely fit your budget and meet your needs well. I'll place an order for RM750x since I don't need a corsair link. Thanks a lot, everyone is great!
