psu for gaming rig

[Silver]

hey everyone, i'm building a new gaming rig and wanted to know if 750W if enough for it

here are the specs:

MB - maximus IV extreme

CPU - i7 2600k

Cooler - n14

GPU - asus 570 gtx

ram - corsair 4gb(2X2) 1600mhz cl8

Storage - WD 1T sata 3, intel x-25v 40gb ssd

case - HAF X

PSU - SEASONIC X-760

For that rig it should be fine. If you were to add another 570 though in the future I'd be more comfortable with 850w+. What kind of amperage is on the 12v rail with that PSU?

63 if i'm reading it right

i'm gona do some heavy overclocking on this system too,

and if i'll add another 570 card i'll just get a second psu to be safe.

With a single card and heavy overclocking on both the GPU and i7, that Seasonic should be plenty. It's a quality PSU.

yeah that psu is the best i've seen so far.

well tnx for the help, one lest this, how can i monitor how much my watts my psu is outputting at any given time.

You could get something like a kill-a-watt. It plugs into your outlet, then your PC plugs into that. It will read what your PC is drawing.
