Hey guys,
In my new rig I am planning on overclocking an i7 4790k to around 4.6GHz, and eventually will have Titan X in SLI, now from what I have seen the CPU power draw at load would be roughly 110-130 watts, and under load a single Titan X can reach nearly 300 or so.
My conundrum is this, do I go for the 860w or the 1200w psu. I understand PSUs are generally more efficient at 50% or so loads, and by my reckoning with an overclocked CPU and 2x Titan X overclocked plus my other peripherals would be pushing that quite close to 860.
Should I grab the 1200w and be done with it or would I be fine with the 860w.
Thanks
