PSU for GTX 1070 and core i7 6700k

[headshotd89]

Just bought a core i7 6700k, 16 RAM trident z 3000 Mhz, Mobo Ga-z170x-gaming 3.

In my old rig i had a Corsair CX600M i didnt change it because i haven't had any problems with it in 2 years of use, last year i rendered a video with my pc on 24/7 about a month, no issues, (had core i7 2600k, 8 Ram, GTX 660 2 GB) but i've always read that the CX series are bad. Now that i upgraded my rig i'm wondering if i should even try to run my new sistem, (adding a gtx 1070) strix with that "old" PSU

PD. I have a Corsair H80i liquid cooler for my CPU ¿is that enough?

The new pc should use roughly the same amount of power as the old one so you can use the same psu.

agree
if it aint broken dont fix it

There's no reason to replace the PSU if it's working correctly. It has plenty of power for i7, GTX 1070 and additional hardware.

I'd say the old system would have used more power than the new components.
The H80i is fine if you don't plan on insane overclocking.

600W should be plenty, my actual system (which is close to yours, with some addition that draw a little more power) use a slightly oversized PSU (750w... ok ... a better brand tho, but Corsair is fine )

according to a rough estimation my system would use 410w at full load (meaning 100% 8hrs a day which happen very rarely on a normal usage basis ) i could be fine with a 460w and the same OC (4.4) if i didn't got a sweet deal on my M12II 750 Evo

The H80i is fine if you don't plan on insane overclocking.

actually the H80i is even better performing than some 240mm kit (altho the Seidon 120M is a tad better, not much a fan of Corsair and their pricing ) so there is room for a hefty OC, unless by insane you meant "trying to reach 5ghz"

Yep a Corsair 600w should be fine. I wouldn't say that the CX series are "bad" their just not great like most of Corsair's lineup, it's their budget lineup for a reason.

CX series are the lower end on Corsair PSU's, they arent bad units, simple they are the cheap and simplest models, so, if you could replace it with a better unit, great, if not and as you have stated, the unit works flawless, keep it,

also if you have the money for raplace something that you dont need to, better think about getting something pretty useful as a UPS backup, that will ensure some more protection and care for your rig,

Also update this whit all your new hardware and changes!

For perspective

i7 4770K@4.8ghz, 32GB DDR3, 2xTX980Ti's with a hefty overclock and an EVGA gold series 750w draws 666w peak at the wall under load

i7 5960X@4.6ghz, 32GB DDR4, 2x980TI's with a heft overclock and a Corsair AX860i draws 740w peak under load at the wall.
