Hi, im using 600w 80+ PSU for that system but that not suitable, i know that should buy a new psu which 750w+ and i wanna know which one should i buy, i sought a little i found this so i wanna know should i buy this. thank you.

You'd be fine with a good quality 550W one already. Where you live so I could check what's available there?

Turkey
 
You should be in the 750-850 range, not 550 or 600.
 
Hmm, are there any major PC shops where I could browse something for you?

Overkill but well, better be safe than sorry. :D I still remember running a R9 290 OC with a XFX 430W unit without issues... or HD 3870 X2 with a HEC 300W PSU... never had any issues with both of those scenarios! :toast:

Corsair RM750e 750W is a good unit to consider. Not sure how much it costs in Turkey but it's very price competitive in the USA. 3070 Ti's TDP is 290W so you could be looking at units rated for more than 600W given you have a 13400F.

Indicative of those units being very poor quality. Same vibe as "this 500W unit runs a 3080!"

Is it? I can trip my Seasonic 750 with my tuned 5900X and 3070Ti.. but with a single CCD part its fine.. seems kinda borderline no?

At least a Fractal ION Gold 550W ran my old 1080 Ti without issues :D

Could there be a spike which triggers it? Kinda reminds me of that incompatibility issue with Strix 970 and my 2nd PC's Seasonic FX-750, funny how Strix 970 (and AMD Vega cards) has some kind of spikes, I had a Strix 970 for a day (before I gave it to my little brother) and there was indeed issues, black screen'd while gaming without any warnings.
 
650-750W will do the job for your current setup. But think of future upgrades too... I think 850W should be your go-to Power supply because PSU is one-time long run spending.

im not planning any upgrade for a while, if i upgrade i would change all of the parts of the includes case and psu

the Corsair RM750e 750W costs about 110 USD in turkey. I know that I should use more than 600W because when I start gaming, I immediately get a black screen. also when I try to start the computer, the PSU smoked and smelt like its burning.

RMe is a good PSU lineup, 750W is fine for you and you have still headroom for that upgrade later. It's enough for practically every GPU excluding the Nvidia xx90 ones.

If a quality supply that is working properly, with your current components, 600W is big enough - barely - for now.

No. Those are symptoms of something failing, not that of a PSU that is too small. Any 1/2-way decent PSU will automatically shut down completely if the demand on it is too great. That means your screen won't just go black, it means the computer will shut down.

Now if a counterfeit supply, that's a different story - but then that would not even be a "1/2-way" decent supply.

PSUs should be sized by assuming all the components (motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, drives, fans, and other connected devices) all at once, at the exact same point in time, will demand maximum power. But that scenario is extremely unlikely to ever happen (except, maybe, in simulated stress tests). Even with serious gaming, it is very rare for both the CPU and the GPU to demand maximum power at the same point in time. Even if they did, it would be even rarer for the motherboard, drives, RAM, fans, etc. to be maxed out that same second too.

By sizing based on the (unlikely) scenario all components will demand maximum power all at once, you have already built in a nice little buffer that will keep the PSU from maxing out allowing it to run cooler and (hopefully) quieter.

That said, I still recommend padding the results a little more - for peace of mind, if nothing else. So, since you are not planning on any upgrades in the near future, I would look for a decent 700 - 750W supply. I go for "Gold" certified over Bronze. Platinum or Titanium are rarely worth their extra costs, unless you stumble upon a too-good-too pass discount.

850W, IMO is overkill. That said, it won't hurt anything to go the overkill route - except your wallet.

As has been said, a quality 600 W unit should be enough for your current config. Still, black screens / reboots under load typically point to power delivery issues.

What is your exact PSU model?

Thank you, i would check the discounts or similar psu

im using GameForce 600W 80+ Bronze Certificated, when i had another build like 5600x and 6700xt i didnt get any problem. additionally i tried to some gpu test for like 10 mins but i didnt get any black screen, when i was attend to play game i got black screen and gpus fan speeds reach around %1000(because when i set this to 100 thats not like that) i hope theres no anything bad for my gpu

Unfortunately, this doesn't look like a quality unit. If the manufacturer's claims are true (and they are often exaggerated with such low budget models) it should provide 552 W on the important 12V rail.

This just happens to be the same amount of power your system needs when fully loaded. Your current PSU may not be able to deliver it reliably, and/or cannot deal with momentary spikes from your video card -- which could be in the 420-430 W range.

This is the cheapest power supply I could recommend that I found on the website you mentioned:
 
hey again, i bought this one but my problem(when i attend to play games, screen closes and graphic gard fans reach to peak) still continue. is there anyone who can help me to solve this?

1. Does your system reboot when you try to launch anything graphics intensive?

2. Or do you simply get a black screen but not really reboots?

i didnt get any reboots just i got black screen but my system continued to work, im gonna re-install my operating system to install all drivers properly. additionally, i did all system tests like vram test, gpu burner i didnt get any black screen except power test
 
I'm running 3080 Ti on a 750W Seasonic.

Blackscreens can also mean unstable memory profile on RAM, check Event Viewer for critical errors after your PC reboots. If you're seeing WHEA-18 errors then it's most likely RAM.

Either a memory issue or a GPU driver issue (maybe both?).

Try booting with a single memory stick and reinstall the GPU drivers using DDU.
