what psu for my build with OC

01-06-2016, 02:12 AM

I am an OC running an i5-6600k with a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1. How much power do I require? Would a 520W unit suffice, or should I opt for something more powerful?

I would maintain that Seasonic unless you believe you might need to run SLI later.

CTurbo would keep that Seasonic unless you believe you might run SLI later. I don't think I'd run SLI in the future, so do you think a 520w would be sufficient to upgrade both the CPU and GPU?

I would choose an EVGA GS or G2 or a RMx 550.

That 520w Seasonic model is sufficient and serves well as a power supply unit. The $49 price is excellent, though I believe there might be a $10 rebate available.

The 650G is a weak power supply, don't purchase it.

No, it's not a good choice.

The EVGA SuperNOVA G1 GOLD 650W isn't the most reliable power supply. There are always better alternatives available at the same cost or less.

CTurbo:
The EVGA SuperNOVA G1 GOLD 650W is considered a below average power supply in terms of reliability. There are always better alternatives available at the same price or lower.
Indeed, they tend to be unstable and unreliable.
