According to [H]'s recent article, a GTX 1070 even with an overclocked 4770K uses less than 300W, so why bother with a more powerful PSU?
The question then becomes, "Which 300W PSU should I use or recommend?"
Indeed, as the 254W power draw is measured from the wall and PSU power ratings are for the output of the PSU, not input, a 250W PSU would do. Would even a 200W PSU do if you're not overclocking?
