Hello,
I just ordered a new system. Before I placed the order, I checked a wattage calculator (can not remember witch one) and it told me 750-800w should be enough. So I ordered the system with a 850w ps.
The one I ordered is: Seasonic X850 Gold ATX 12V 24PIN 850W Active PFC 80PLUS Gold Modular SLI Ready Power Supply
The shipment was split up but I got the motherboard and was looking at the manual. ASUS had their own wattage calculator, so I checked it out. ASUS recommends a 1150w power supply.
Question: is the Seasonic x850 Gold good enough for my system or should I get a: 1200W ATX Corsair AX1200i Digital Platinum Modular?
Parts list for new system:
ASUS Xonar Essence STX PCI-E1 SPDIF Sound Card
Antec P280 XL-ATX Tower Case
Will be replacing all fans with Noctua NF-F12 and Noctua NF-A15
Samsung 840 Pro Series 512GB x2
LG WH14NS40 14X Blu-Ray Writer
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H110
Intel Core i7 4770K Unlocked - hoping for a 4.6 overclock.
ASUS GeForce GTX 780 - x2
Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 32Gb
ASUS Z87-DELUXE
Best regards.
