How much watts psu needed for a gaming pc with the following specs?

Which brand(I'am thinking for Superflower)?

CPU:Intel Ultra 9 285K
GPU:7900xt or 4070 ti or ti super or maybe one of AMD's 8000 series or NVDIA's 5000 series(not one like 5090 or 8900 XTX)
MOBO:ATX z890
RAM:DDR5 32 or 48 Gb(2 sticks) 6400 mhz or more
SSD:500 Gb MVMe 5.0 and 1Tb MVMe 4.0
Cooler:A 360 Liquid Cooler
Sound Card:Internal or external SoundblasterX AE-5 plus or G6
Fans:5 ARGB
I'am thinking for Zalman Z10 plus as case

I would like my psu to be enough for some upgrades in the future

I live in Greece and the site i prefer is: Skroutz.gr

My budget is around 2000 euros

Most of the parts will have RGB or ARGB lighting

Any advices for the other parts of my build are welcome.

Superflower or Seasonic would be the two I would look at. Now for wattage, I have a i9 12900K with a RX7900 XT that when I over clock, they will pull over 700 watts. So, if you plain on over clocking I would go with an 850 watt minimum. If you plan on not over clocking them, a 750 watt would be the bare minimum I would go with.

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
850W and above for your current list of components,
1200W if you want to feed a future 600W graphics card, and that may well be what the upper-tier GPUs need in 3 years from now. It's only a guess, but power consumption of GPUs keeps creeping up...

My rule of thumb is to have the typical combined CPU+GPU load to be roughly in the middle of the PSUs rated output.
The Intel CPU will likely spend most of its time in the 150-200W range and your GPU suggestions are going to be in the 250-300W range, so you're likely going to have a system that uses 400-500W when gaming and an 850W, good-quality PSU should be able to handle a worst-case synthetic stress test even when you're just running a couple of power viruses like AIDA64 AVX2 and Furmark.

avoid it, they switched to a cheaper OEM on the unit. Also, why not wait for reviews of the Ultra 9 285K?

corsair RM850e is within your budget and a ATX 3.0 unit (or 3.1 depending on the exact SKU), platform is a cost cutting of version of the CWT built RM lines
seasonic focus GX 750w is a better unit and ATX 3.0, there is a 850w version for around 160 depending on color but it's outside your budget. 7900xt can spike to 400w but a ATX 3.0 750w can handle that easily. With no reviews of the Ultra 9 285K, can't really say much there.

Personal opinion:

1. Drop the 360mm AIO - those things are expensive and not required. Replace it with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit, Phantom Assassin or Peerless Assassin 140 - any one of these will do perfectly fine and save you a chunk of money. Spend the money on some decent fans to boost the airflow of your case if it doesnt come with many fans or if the fans are just weak.

You'll also want to tune the fan RPM in the bios. Exhaust fans can run a little slower. In take fans have to be FASTER for positive airflow. If your front fans are at 50% duty cycle. Exhaust fans can be 35 or 40% depending on how much you care about the noise.

2. That build is totally wasted on such an LG 4K 60hz and I personally wouldnt upgrade till you can factor in a better monitor with faster refreshrate. Otherwise Its like owning a Bugatti veyron but its speed restricted to 20mph - its a total waste of money. A decent 165hz IPs monitor is getting pretty affordable these days - at least on this part of the world.

---

You might be able to get away with even a good 750W unit so thats where i would look. A Seasonic GX-750 will sort you out. Even a PC such as mine doesnt draw over 400w when gaming and I have V-sync on at 165hz.

well that chips is anywhere around 80-140w during gaming and can hit spike to 200w. the seasonic ATX 3.0 750w will handle a R9 9950x & 7900xt build although the fan may make a bit of noise at times. I would avoid there non 3.x 750w units. The corsair RMe would give you more overhead and runs fairly silent and is within your budget. The seasonic 850w ATX 3.0 is not in your budget but the better of the three. I think there was a corsair RMx shift on that site which is also 3.x but beyond your budget as well, a very good unit.

1.I've choose this case because of the three 140 front fans and for the optional fans on the side.The problem is that the fans on the front have a speed which i think is slow(900 RPM max).I don't know if the side fans will help.I'am thinking to put one fan on the side and one on the top.As for cooling i'am not a big fan of liquid coolers, so i prefer a good air cooler even a more expensive one than Thermalright Phantom Spirit, Phantom Assassin or Peerless Assassin 140 even if that means 3-4 degrees lower temperature.

2.I'am thinking to buy a faster monitor 2k or 4k with freesync with around 165 hz

As for the psu i would like it to be somehow futureproof.I mean i will make upgrades in the future.

what kind of upgrades? More powerful GPU? If so than you need to expand the budget and as @mechtech stated looks for ATX 3.x power supplies

I was thinking for this one: https://www.visionstudio.gr/prodinf...=165&pmanuf=210&sort=undefined&step=undefined this one: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/51746240/S...Ypologisti-Full-Modular-80-Plus-Platinum.html this one: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/29108778/S...iko-Ypologisti-Full-Modular-80-Plus-Gold.html this one: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/40669610/C...iko-Ypologisti-Full-Modular-80-Plus-Gold.html They are above my budget but it's ok

V-SYNC makes a huge difference and chances are you are optimizing cpu/gpu instead of OC!!!! to the MAXXXXXX.
Exactly why I went with SF 750w.
