Hi all,
I am saving up for a new system which I hope to purchase in the next month and am a bit unsure about how big a power supply a need. I have tried different power usage calculators, but get varying recommendations.
Here are the relevant system specs for the new PC:
- Intel Core i7 6700K
- Corsair Hydro Series H80i 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler
- Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 1070
- Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M2A2400C16 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4
- 2 SSD drives: 1TB and 500GB
- HDD: 6TB
- optical 24x SATA DVD-RW
- 4 case fans (140mm x2, 120mm x2)
- USB network adapter (always in)
- USB keyboard and mouse (keyboard is G510s, mouse is basic optical)
- Computer is usually on for about 14 hours per day, but sometimes is left on over night for downloading purposes.
- I do plug in quite a variety of USB devices, but not usually all at the same time.
- I will probably also install a PCIe 3.1 USB expansion card as well at a later stage.
The sites I have been on recommend between 500W-650W. (I was under the impression that I needed about 750W to be comfortable and prepared for the future.)
What would be your recommendation?
