Power supply query after watching Tom's video

[raist679]

Hi everybody. I'm new to the community. I recently upgraded my rig and decided to buy a Corsair AX860i power supply. After watching Tom's video I see that it is overkill. I could still return it to the local store I purchased it from. However I also invested the extra money on the Corsair individually braided cables that I don't think I could recoup my money on. My full rig is as follows:
Intel i7 4770k
MSI Mpower Max motherboard
MSI lightning 780 video card
16GB Corsair Dominator platinum 2400mhz
480GB Neutron GTX SSD
Noctua NH-U14S in push pull
Corsair Carbide 540
My question is whether or not it would be worth it to mess around returning the power supply to save a few buck since I already invested in the cables. If so what would you trade it in for? Preferably a Corsair unit if possible.

If you have already purchased and you are not sure if you will get your monies worth back then you may as well just hang onto it and it could be useful if you want to run a second lightning later

To be fair, that's a cracking unit that will give you plenty of headroom for improvements later one and will probably last you a LONG time

Yeah I wouldnt start returning stuff matey thats just silly. Youve spent the money on what is Corsairs flagship range so Id be smug in that fact. TBH you could have got the 760i but tbh its not worth messing around with returns etc.

Think about it for your system I said 650/700 ish was about the right sweet spot.

Its never going to be worth the hassle unless it was an ax1200i and still in the box lol

Thanks for the replies everyone. I suppose it probably isn't worth the trouble of messing around with it. I'll just stick with what I've got and be happy. Besides it will be able to handle the load if I ever decide to add another lightning. Thanks again.
