yesterday i just purchased an 850w montech psu 80+gold and i think i made a mistake because i didn’t pick 1000w for future proof. i’m not sure if i’m wrong or not, since i might want to upgrade to a better gpu. do i really need 1000w? i need to check if i should upgrade to something like 4080 super and ryzen 9 7950x3d. i don’t think i can afford 4090 for the long term, and it never seems right. will an 850w 80+gold be enough for my future upgrades? for example, i’m thinking about moving to a 4080 super 7900xtx 7900xt model.
i've seen most montech units i've come across are quite low quality. which exact model is this? i'm willing to return it just to be safe and get something more reliable with a solid warranty. it really depends on the precise model of the gpu you're considering, as well as the power needed for your entire system. no one can predict the future or know what you might end up using or the wattage future models will need. currently, most rtx 4080 super variants recommend a minimum of 750-850w. check the specific model you're interested in and see what fits.
I own a Montech Century G5 80+gold 850w with an 8-year warranty.
The Montech Century G5 80+gold 850 w is capable of handling 4080 super.
