December 30, 20178 yr Hi guys, I think that I MUST change my PSU, previously I've got a MSI Z270 MOBO with a i5 6600K and a GTX 1070, after 2 months I've got big troubles (sound card broken on the MOBO, and now I've big troubles with the 1070) just when I started to OC hte CPU Yesterday I mounted my Z370 and a 8700K but I don't want to have the same issue than before and fried everything, my current PSU is 650W, do you think that is enought for this: I7 8700K @4.7 (but I'll go on 5mhz later) GTX 1080Ti (very soon) 16 GB DDR4 (soon 32) 1SSD and 2 HDD 1 Watercooling for the CPU 2 fans on the box Oculus Rift And if a 750W PSU is a good choice (or maybe more) which one can you recommend me Regards SEHA Tanguy
December 30, 20178 yr I've found Part Picker to be really useful when planning a computer build. I like EVGA's PSU, but others are good too.

December 31, 20178 yr https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator I entered your config but added extra, went over the top, 5.2 OC etc. Result = 712 watts. In reality you shouldn't need that much, given that modern hardware is more efficient than it used to be. So 750 watts would give you ample, plus enough for future expansion. My preference is EVGA these days. 10 year warranty! Made by Superflower for EVGA, a very good company. And for my 8700K and Maximus X Code upgrades I have an EVGA 750 P2 ready. I must add... your previous issue may have been nothing to do with the PSU. Try a few and see what the consensus is. https://www.evga.com/power-meter/ http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/psu-finder http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ https://seasonic.com/wattage-calculator https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator http://support.asus.com.cn/powersupply.aspx?Slanguage=en
