Pricing similar on Amazon, minus the MIR. Just bought mine there.
The first piece of my first build! Been a console gamer for years and have had only Macs for work. Pretty excited!
I'm partial to the EVGA PSU's, suggest a 750w or higher, here is an example through Amazon - Not a referral link, you can google prices across the web, this is only one example of what I use on my dual PSU setup.
How hard is it to install a new CPU/Motherboard? I plan on upgrading from my i5 4690k to the new Zen 3s, as well as add an nVME SSD. I currently have an SSD and an HDD.
Will this PSU run a 3080 or BIG NAVI alright alongside maybe a 1440p monitor? I built this in 2016.
I was not aware of any caveats with Samsung. Perhaps future proofing was a misnomer, I just want something I won't mind using in 7 years. Is the 2080 super really a bad idea?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this guys is my PSU. I have only had it four years.
To add to that they were advsertised as having 10 year warrenty for example the amazon product page:

Hi Op. Thanks for another giveaway! If possible I'd like a PSUbhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_w11oCb26AYAGD
It's the last thing I need to build my computer I'm gifting to my brother.
My fact is that while Mars is very different from earth in many ways, a day on Mars is only 40 minutes longer than on Earth.
650W is already more than you need. You gain nothing by spending more for unused wattage. What price are you looking at for the G3 650W? Amazon has the G2 750W on sale for $79.99 (the same price as the G2 650W and it doesn't need a rebate to get that price). It's quieter than the G3 and still an excellent PSU.
Appreciate the reply.
For 10 bucks more, I can get the 750W G2 which has 3 more years of warranty (10) than the GQ but it doesnt mention anything about silent design. Would you rather get the GQ or G2?
Yeah - they are definitely for breakout boards - didn't look like it. Glad nothing was fried. That being said planning on using:
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W x2 for 8x 1080s

Edit: That's exactly it - didn't see the difference in wires :|
I just tried doing a clean boot and everything seems fine. Even before and after resetting everything my computer booted up fine.
So now that you mention a possible PSU issue, I'm wondering if there was something that happened with my PSU through the electrical outlet in my apartment. I live in a pretty old apartment building and I noticed that one of the switches in the restroom, which is next to the computer room, kept making my speakers pop whenever my wife turned it on/off. I don't know much about electrical wiring but the switch oddly effected the outlet my surge protector was plugged into, which has all my computer and peripherals plugged in one. Could it be possible that it messed with my PSU?
For reference my PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
without the MIR in the equation, a G2 750W gold is 128 on amazon, and you can price match with mikes for $116 pre-tax using the coupon code. PSU with 100W extra power for about the same price if not counting the MIR https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW
That's coo' EVGA makes good power supplies. I have this one in my system: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491428771&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+supernova+750 I've no issues with it and it's cheaper than the one you linked to.
I have never had a shutdown due to power draw - I have tested it at 100% load without issue on the timespy programs. Still I believe that what you say makes sense thank you. EVGA makes many different models, is there one that you might be able to recommend? I was looking at this one:
Will do. I placed an order for an EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 with same day shipping. Should be here later today. I'll swap the psu and graphics card when I get home from work and report back.
Is there anywhere else I can chop off the 20ish bucks from upgrading this?
For the love of god, don't SLI on a CX model PSU, or any of the virtually identical VS/CS models either.
Either just get a good unit and use one GPU, or get a better unit simply put.
This unit is essentially the best in terms of price-performance (or quality for that matter), has 4x PCI connectors (they're 8 pins, but the final 2 split off if necessary), and it's a superb quality unit so you can be near certain that it won't explode under heavy load, unlike the CX line.
If you're going with a single GPU,
I appreciate the fast response. I have decided to go with this one EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD, 750W ECO Mode
why do you want that psu in particular?
evga has 550w psu's for cheaper, and the quality is still there
If just for gaming, save the $100 and get the 6600k. If you don't plan on OC the CPU, go for the 6500.
This is a better PSU and comes with a 10 yr warranty.
What's your GPU of choice?
Hi!
Thanks so much for the advice, I'm happy to hear I won't need a full tower. That's a relief!
Just to confirm, this is the PSU I'd swap it out for: Does this work?
you should really just give what i said a try: http://smile.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1463526735&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+750
7" length instead of a vague "standard" description by the manufacturer. many things stay the same from psu to psu but the length is definitely not always the constant. if you do some research, you will definitely find that the standard length of an atx psu is actually 6".
ps hover over the 650 and 550 for a very easy size comparison. those are your standard sizes.
WOW! Look at this http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Continuous-Crossfire-220-GS-0650-V1/dp/B00IKDETOW?th=1&psc=1
It's only 100$ but it's a tier one PSU, what the hell!!! And I'm pretty sure 750W should be more than enough to be future proof since new GPUs/CPUs aim for power efficiency + 10 year warranty. Holy cow!
Now I only need to figure out how to get it...
Agreed. I personally use anecdotal evidence, but I prefer to collect a lot of it from as many people as possible.
I was looking on Amazon. Apparently there was a price change last night, and the difference is now $10. Even so, unless the $10 is really going to kill you, I'd rather have the 750 G2.
This is what i got. The atx one you linked is not that good.
Also about sli, i haven't done it myself but most people who had will advise you against it. In theory the negatives are that even fewer games support it, and even then you may experience stuttering and lagging. Not to mention the extra heat for your system, the increased electricity consumption. If you are not experienced on pc building and gaming, i suggest you stay out of it, at least for now. If you want an upgrade on your graphics card, i think it is better to sell the old one and get a new. If you plan on gaming on 4k resolution though, sli is more needed.
But on the other hand, i hear read rumours that with the directx 12 sli will improve the multiple GPUs system. Also, it is also rumoured that vr in the future will use one GPU for each eye. Who knows, these are just speculations, we cannot know for now.
My last advises and i am done are to wait for the new series of graphics cards, it will save you a lot of money and they should release arounf june. Also, the power supply and the case/tower are the things you have to replace less regularly ( the evga ones have 10 year guarantee ), so you might as well get good one so will not regret it later. An 750w gold like the one i linked is enough for sli two gtx 970. For two 980ti it may be enough but i would go for 850w to be sure.
thanks i will get a different psu https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Certified-ATX12V-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458511021&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+g2
i am also going to overclock in a little while as i want to try it without overclocking first as i am not experienced
I'm looking to replace my PSU but have it ready for a i7/high end mobo within the year. I definitely don't need anything more than 750/850 as I intend on going with one GPU probably about a 970.
I haven't much experience with Seasonic, and my last PSU is a Antec which has held up remarkably well.
Money isn't really a big deal as I want to make sure I have a solid PSU. What would you recommend EVGA or Seasonic. I'm looking at the G2 which is around 99$ on Amazon. Any recommendations?
Is this the model you have? http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457031186&sr=8-1&keywords=G2+750W
I think it may be faulty - I originally thought it was PSU so I upgraded from a 620W system to the below 750W PSU, and behavior has not changed at all.
You can get an EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 750 watt for $99.99 at Amazon.
This one. These are solid power supplies manufactured by Super Flower. Fully modular so you can manage your cables better. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the input! After using MSI Afterburner to limit the power to the GPU, the stability test no longer resets the computer. Temperatures don't seem out of the ordinary. I ordered a new PSU which will hopefully fix the issue.
Solid choice!! I'm jelly.
For your PSU, Evga offers a cheaper alternative though. EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD, 750W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 220-G2-0750-XR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_ICkswbTAQSY0A
Unless you're planning to get two 980 Ti's, a 650W PSU would be plenty (That build with a 980 Ti would use around 475W at peak), which I recommend this:
As for that v8 GTS....meh. Its huge and its $85-100 depending on sale prices...Do you really want a giant hunk of metal and plastic pulling on your motherboard? If you're going to spend that kind of money on a cooler, get a Corsair H100i GTX liquid cooler, currently on sale for $99 right now. If you don't want liquid cooling for some reason, go with a Hyper 212 EVO, its like 1/3 the cost of that thing and will get the job done well.
Goodness that was exhaustive. I didn't even realize "Titanium" certification was a thing, or that certain units would play nicely with Haswell chips.
I like the Cooler Master V series, but I don't like their cabling. I know I hate being in a position to critique looks, but it's not as clean as it could be - and with only four modular slots I might be looking at awkward cabling in a full tower case.
I think I just found my new favorite!
10 year warranty! Boom.
I would ditch that liquid cooler and go with quality Noctua (U14S for example) for the same-ish price.
WD Blacks have extended warranty and greater durability, but Blues are faster and cheaper. I would get two Blues and put them in RAID0 (actually... I did it in my current rig).
As for the case, I prefer Fractal Design Define R5 - similar, heavier, bulkier... That's up to you guys though.
PSU: Pay a little bit extra for the G2 version.
GPU: if you'll get the microcenter bundle (which is fine), you'll have budget for GTX 970 or R9 290X. I would get Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (wait again... I did).
The OEM for this unit is Delta Electronics. The following are reviews of the 850W version of this PSU, since I can't find any for the 750W one:
JonnyGuru
TechPowerUp
TweakTown
I posted a comment comparing this to other viable options in another thread I just posted about the semi-modular HCG-850M.
At this price it competes with the EVGA 750G2, which is on Amazon right now for $90 without mail-in rebate. Since these are both top-tier, fully modular units, the decision between the two comes down to whether you're willing to pay an extra $10 to avoid a $20 rebate.
Part of the 10+2 Warranty Extension EVGA is doing too!
Note: This $80 sale on this PSU is across the web. So find the best combo of tax&shipping for your taste.

I posted this three weeks ago when it was on sale for $10 less than this, and it's on sale again now. See the thread linked below for discussion and reviews of this power supply:
This PSU is perfect for people who intend to use SLI or CrossFire of high-end GPUs in a heavily overclocked system. Some alternatives, for those who are considering this:
- If you're planning to do two-way SLI/CF with high-end cards and aren't planning to do very aggressive overclocking (overclocked R9 390X CF, for example, may pull over 700W at peak load), then the 750W version will suffice. It's currently also on sale for $10 less ($60 = $80 − $20 MIR). At this price, it's also probably the best choice for any single-GPU system as well (as of the writing of this post).
- If you're only powering a single GPU (or two midrange GPUs) and for some reason need something that's fully modular, the Corsair RM650 is available for the same price as the HCG-750M ($60 = $80 − $20 MIR). It also has great reviews, but unless you really need modular motherboard and CPU connectors, you might as well just grab the HCG-750M.
- If you're going two-way SLI/CF, need something fully modular (you probably don't), and aren't planning to overclock a power-hungry system, you might consider the Antec HCP-750. It's on sale right now too ($80 = $100 − $20 MIR). It's a top-tier unit from Delta with stellar reviews (review is of 850W version). I just posted a separate thread about this unit in particular, so maybe check there for more info and discussion. Alternatively, you could grab the EVGA 750G2, also a top-tier PSU, for $90 without MIR from Amazon.
- And finally, if you're doing two-way SLI/CF, need a fully modular unit, and are doing very serious overclocking such that 750W is cutting it a bit close, you ought to grab the EVGA 850GS, which is slightly more expensive than the HCP-750 I just mentioned ($86 = $100 − $20 MIR + $6 shipping). As with the HCP-750, its reviews are fantastic. It's just slightly more expensive.
The last three options shouldn't be particularly relevant to most people, since fully modular units aren't necessary except when you want to use custom cables for everything. Since semi-modular is all the modularity you really need, the HCG-750M and HCG-850M are the real contenders here. I'd recommend the 750W for a single-GPU system, since there aren't cheaper high-quality options, and for most SLI/CF setups. The 850W isn't necessary except in the most power-hungry builds. Even then, necessary is a bit of a stretch. It'd probably be more precise to say it's extra safe.
Rule of thumb:
Any mother that has a Z like a Z97 is meant for overclocking whereas H series are just standard.
Like I said I built a pic last weekend with an i5 4690 and an ASRock H97 Pro4 and it went flawless so you wouldn't be disappointed there.
Edit: plus it would match your RAM.
Second edit: you might be pushing it with 450watt and a r9 380. If you can afford it, I can recommend the EVGA G2 series enough. Top tier in terms of quality and fully modular so cable management is a breeze. I would look for other builds and see if anyone has gone 450watt with that video cards.

Another edit: Even better, the 750watt version of the G2 is the same price as the 550watt version on Amazon.

All looks good, I would suggest getting this power supply instead
simply because it has a proven track record for being reliable (291 reviews on newegg at 5 star average and tons of amazon reviews). Another thing would be to wait on the GTX 960 until the benchmarks come out on the Radeon RX 480 because it is the same price and the 480 could perform better.

Heres some pics https://imgur.com/a/lQYfkEd. Great shape, got all the original cables.

So i made an alternate pcpartpicker list for you that is more focused on intel. the 9600k is much better for gaming than 2700x, just keep that in mind (Despite it having less cores)
Here are my thoughts. Just know im a little biased towards intel over ryzen at this budget
would you consider a slightly faster processor. My build was the same except I got a 9700k with a noctua nh-d15
the 9700k will make your computer much more upgradeable in the future and you wont have to rebuild as often
Other notes: Powersupply is def too expensive

Big One: CHECK AMAZONWAREHOUSE for used monitors. A lot of times they run the used price -20% of base price of total monitor after you put it in shopping cart. i got ASUS ROG PG279Q for like 280 on there. the ASUS ROG PG279Q does not have that special deal right now but another 1440p 144hz+ monitor might.

for monitor you picked on amazon used deals (there is no special 20% off on that monitor right now)
Ram: Your RAM is massively overkill but it is a good choice for 2700x.. Only get that RAM if you get an AMD. I still would recommend 9700k or 9600k imo over that, but i am biased towards intel so keep that in mind. just remmeber you can save some money on ram if you get intel. Also, I only have 8 gb of ram and it works fine with my build and things i do (Gaming)

check out used version of this power supply https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOW/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&psc=1#
it is much higher quality and is same price as your power supply but is
Overall pick this build if you are primarily gaming imo
I need to buy a new psu.
I've narrowed it down to two options, EVGA Supernova G2 750w
I don't care about saving energy and being quiet would be a plus.

check r/buildapcsales every wednesday for evga mid week sales posts. yesterday sales had crazy deals on platinum/titanium grade psu
I believe this is my powersupply. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW
Can I use the cables from my EVGA 750w g2 supernova on the same model of psu, but 1000w?
Someone asked the question on amazon and a poster responded saying they had done it with a 650w model, but I'm asking here to make sure.
Yea i was looking at the g2. EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 10 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply 220-G2-0750-XR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ozVaAb8ERV47K
Maybe that montior has some specific thing about it making it better, but I think you can get a similar one for cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=1920x1080+144Hz+Monitor+24inch
G2 (older version of PSU) basically the same but cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502726558&sr=8-3&keywords=gold+modular+psu

That gpu man, $600 get something cheaper, I promise that 1 year from now you will feel silly having spent $600 on just a GPU.
The PC itself is power by a power supply like this. The power supply is what plugs into the wall.
Yeah, I am already looking @ this : https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW

10 dollars cheaper and has good reviews.
> Corsair CS650M
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/CS650M/11.html
Cons: Price is on the high side Ripple at +12V could be lower No MOV in the transient filter Lower than the minimum allowed hold-up time
No, for 10 more bucks you can get an EVGA G2 750W which blows that out of the water with a 10year warranty.

Unless these are unavailable where you are, then let us know where you are so we can suggest the next best thing, Seasonic, XFX, etc.
Would this suffice for replacement of my current one? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474311181&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+750w
Thank you very much for the detailed reply! Unfortunately the SP120 fans are coming from my previous build so those are the one's I have to go with. I almost always research extensively before purchasing anything so I'm actually surprised by myself that I bought the Static Pressure versions. It was a long time ago that I purchased them but I really don't understand why I bought the SP one's. Oh well, they should still work decent enough, right?
And yes, I do plan on getting another 8GB stick of ram in the future. I also have a 250GB SSD from my last build I'll be using.
I don't think I'll be interested in SLI for at least another 2 years from now and I'm thinking by that time I can just sell the 1070 and put it towards whatever new card is out at that time, but maybe I'm wrong. One thing that interests me about the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 https://www.amazon.com/SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-Tester-120-G2-1000-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW
is the Over Voltage, Under Voltage, and Short Circuit Protection. I'm wondering if all of those are for just the power supply itself, or if it's also for all your components connected to the power supply. Because I plan on getting a UPS for my rig and the whole reason I'd be getting one is for under voltage and over voltage protection, to supply clean power to my PC because my home has dirty power. I know Linus from LinusTechTips said it would even help in homes that had clean power. I'm getting one with a pure sine wave output. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61LFS7-MLKL._SL1000_.jpg
But if that power supply works as an AVR for my components then I wouldn't even need a UPS which would be freaking awesome. Once again, thank you SO much for the help! Seriously, I very much appreciate it! :)
H440 is a good choice.
That PSU however is not. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html This shows it as a tier 3. Plus for actually less money, you can get a fully modular tier one with the same wattage:

I would like to upgrade my video card and power supply this weekend. I'm thinking of getting the EVGA 750 80+ Gold power supply. I am not sure what video card I should get to play Witcher 3 and other recent games at 1080p 60 fps. What do you guys recommend? My CPU is unclocked by the way. Thanks for the help!

Welp, if you're interested in something with a little more quality, I have a EVGA 750G2 for sale for $70 shipped.
Thanks for the reply! That's troubling. What about EVGAs 750 G2? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW
Actually it's this one!
I was able to get this one for $20 more. Do you think this one is adequate?
I've decided on this. Should be good, right? Looks like it's in Tier 1. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_woi1wbGT7ABX8

That's the one, correct? I don't mind spending more on the important things now. I'd rather pay now then pay for it later

The build now has a 1200 which is completely overkill, so I'm gonna sell that one and recoup some of the cost and pick up a 750 instead. Do you have any recommendations? http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW and http://smile.amazon.com/Corsair-Modular-Bronze-ATX12V-CP-9020099-NA/dp/B00OVCJKWC are the two I'm eyeing.
So I should get this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/?tag=pcpapi-20
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=twister_B00NAQB7S0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. Still on sale. get it while it's hot. BTW Great PSU.

this is what i am running in my current build
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/?tag=pcpapi-20
there is the amazon link i am using the G2 model and i am 100% this is made by powerflower and it has an eco mode so the fan wont spin on low draw systems. love the thing
And evga has legendary customer service.
Just bought this, is this one fine?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
Review. Damn near perfect PSU.
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/
EVGA 750 G2. $90 at Amazon. (cheaper than the 650w for some reason) Excellent PSU. 10 year warranty. Can't beat it under $100.
Antec HCP750 Platinum for $80 after rebate.
There are a variety of reviews for the 850W model, and it's one of the best possible PSUs you can buy for that wattage. It was largely slammed for its $200+ retail price, but at under $100, I think you ignore that.
There's the EVGA G2 750W for $90 with no rebates required. Almost as good as the HCP, just giving another option.
If you actually need the extra 100W, then the GS is going to offer you the best value.
This PSU is $89.99 on Amazon and shipping would be muchhhh cheaper than NCIX.
Rails isn't something you need to worry about as long as you have a quality made PSU.
I'm assuming this is the same one from Newegg? http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW
IMO, get a new PSU then get a 290X/390. The 290X is cheaper but only has 4GB VRAM and of course has older coolers, you can get an EVGA G2 750W for a little under $130 which is good quality, but it's also fully modular, or you can get a Coolermaster V750 which is great quality, but isn't modular, both of those are great choices and not too pricey.
Oh alright, then probably this. :)
(Or the 650W G2/GS)
SLI? I'd pay a bit more and go with this one instead.
Also, you're the 2nd to suggest the EVGA PSU, so I've changed that to this one, suggested above. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/?tag=pcpapi-20
Yes, your GPU will be bottlenecked by the monitor. Your two immediate options to fix that are to get a monitor capable of a higher refresh rate (144hz) to get higher FPS out of your card, or get a monitor with a higher resolution (1440p) to get a nicer picture. For 27", I'd go the 1440p route because I personally hated 1080p at 27". It will cost a bit more for something with a reasonable refresh rate, but I'd say it's worth it. $350 is a shitload of cash for a 1080p/60hz monitor.
Generally well-regarded BenQ monitor: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-gw2765ht
Or get a cheaper GPU, I suppose. Could save a few hundred bucks that way instead of going upward, but pfffft.
As to your PSU, you're not likely to find a higher quality 750W unit on Amazon for the same price. CX is a budget line. It's really not recommended to SLI+overclock on a budget unit like that. EVGA's G2 line is generally what I like for 750W units - they're very high quality and (relatively) cheap.
But hey, $50 more for the PSU, $50 more for the monitor (assuming Amazon still), $30 more for the cooler, and you're still well under budget.
Do you think a 750w power supply is enough overhead? This one: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW in the same EVGA Supernova line?
I checked a calculator and it said typical load (gaming, not full load as in a stress test) for such a system would be 566W. 650W would probably work. That said, if you want to upgrade, the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W is on sale on Amazon right now for $113: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW. That'd be enough wattage and that PSU got a near-perfect score from JonnyGuru. The B2 750W did get an almost-as-good score (9 instead of 9.8), though. No review there for the 850W, but I assume it's quite similar.
The G2 has a semi-passive mode so the fan won't spin up when load is below like 300W. That's pretty cool.
Took your advice and bought this: EVGA SuperNOVA 750G2
Thanks, the one from Amazon is just $3 more, so I will do that. Is this (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW) The one you had i mind?
Nah, that's bronze quality. Aim for gold when you're buying a new PSU.
As paranoid it may sound, it will save you and your computer the stress on the long run.
This is better for 20$ more.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW
As I'm sure some folks will point out, there's a new 1080Ti on the way, which will mess around gpu prices a fair bit. So wait a little while on that. Just as you'll be able to get a standard 1080 for less, which will allow for a few other little adjustments to make it more balanced.
For me, I'd spend a bit more on a better psu (leaning to 750W EVGA G2 just for the gpu drain) and slightly better motherboard, something like the X99.
