I was wanting to know if a 650W PSU would be enough wattage for my build, or if I should consider getting a 750W instead, as I am not sure how much power this will draw.
I was looking around and I got very conflicting opinions/comments as to what it looked like what was needed, with some saying that 650W would be just enough, where others said it was more than enough.
I plan on overclocking the CPU and possibly GPU, though I don't plan on getting a second one GPU to xfire so I don't need extra for that possibility.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB Video Card
PSU: Corsair Professional 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
SSD (boot drive): Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
CPU Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Any help and clarification you guys can provide is much appreciated, thanks!
