How much Watt?

[Mika]

Hey so I recently finished my Pc build and I am stuck on the last and perharps the most important part. The PSU... I dont mind paying more for a modular or semi modular one as long as the price doesnt get over 100$ ( compared to a non modular version )

So here is the spec


CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Amazon Canada)

Memory: Kingston Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: PNY CS2111 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card

Not sure about if you get can a quality one for that price, probably gonna have to wait for someone else to help you out on this.

IMO i don't think you need anymore than 700 watts but if you plan on getting another 980Ti but even then i still think 700 will be enough. Brand wise you could look at Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic or even Super Flower.

TTL even did a video on how many watts you need.

I personally have an Corsair HX750i and have an reference EVGA 980Ti, so you don't think it will cope by getting another EVGA 980Ti ref?...

Sorry I wasnt clear, I mean that I dont mind paying an extra 100$ for a fully modular or semi modular PSU.

So if the non modular version is 220$ I dont mind paying 300$ for a fully modular one

Get a decent 650w gold PSU from Superflower, EVGA, SeaSonic, or a Corsair RMi.

I found a SeaSonic 650w Gold semi modular PSU for $99.

I find this quite handy, for working out the wattage.

How much watt?
More like 20 AMPs!

If you don't plan on SLI in the future then anything 550-650 from Seasonic or Superflower is ideal. Preferably nothing below 80+ Gold for longevity for the unit and long-term stability for the hardware connected to it
