Recommended PSU For This System

Guest · Sep 29, 2013

Hi, I asked a similar question before, but I've decided I want to use a more powerful graphics card

What would be a recommended PSU that provides just enough power (Want to keep the electricity bill low) for this system I am planning to build.

System Specs:

• ASRock Z87 Extreme6 Motherboard

• Intel i5 4670k 3.4GHz CPU

• Zalman CNPS10X Performa CPU Fan

• Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 GPU

• G-Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 2133MHz DDR3 RAM

• Fractal Design Define R4 PC Case

• Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 2TB SATA Hard Drive

• Kingston 120GB SSD

• LG 24X DVD/RW SATA Optical Drive

• BenQ XL2411T 120Hz Monitor

I am also not planning to upgrade or add any additional components in the future.

That one, since you didn't mention SLI in the future.

Take note though, the 4670k is overkill for the 760.

You can downgrade your mobo and CPU, then get a 770 or 780, or the new amd products which launched last week..

BUT if you really love the 4670k, then go for it.

Nothing wrong with it too.

Depending on your budget but these are top of the line and will both have enough to run your system with plenty of power to spear. Also please remember to select the best solution so that others may learn from this thread. Thank you for your time.

You could get a 999,999,999,999,999,999 Watt PSU and it wouldn't increase your electricity bill. PSUs only draw as much power as the system requires (until the System exceeds their stated maximum). The only thing that'll help you cut back on your bill is getting more efficient parts. Anyway, this'll do nicely:

Ahahahahaha, if you're going for PC gaming, you're going to upgrade eventually.

Oh, well in that case I'll go for the 650 watts PSU

Thank you all for helping me out and giving me good advice.
