Which power supply suits my build?

rev3rse · Nov 5, 2013

Hello,

I'm building a gaming PC, I've settled on every part except for the power supply, so I came here looking for suggestions/guidance.

Here's my build:

- CPU: Intel i7-4820k
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 770 (2Gb)
- Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth X79
- HD: WD 2TB
- RAM: 16GB

I'll be using this PC for gaming and running a low resources virtual machine, probably a 4GB memory Linux box(both at the same time)
P.S: No overclocking involved.

Which power supply suits me?

Update: My budget is around $1600.

Thanks

PLEASE tell me you have not bought this build yet?

There is NO REASON to get the 4820K instead of the 4770K, hell in most cases the 4770K outperforms the 4820K ..

Now if you provide your budget then we can do this properly for you.

System with a single 770 calls for 575watts http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

All will do the job with power to spare.

Either http://goo.gl/8mmPu5 or http://goo.gl/NUwWxf personally I would go with the CX750M you don't need any bigger but maybe you might want extra for the future your choice.

Novuake :

Nope, I haven't.

P.S: The price of the 4820K is ~$35 cheaper than 4770K; Am I missing something?

And how much does the Sabertooth X79 cost? 300$ +.

You can get a very good 1150 motherboard for half that price provides very much the same features and those that are not there you will never use.

This frees up A LOT of cash for a better GPU. Which is where you want to spend money on a gaming rig. Hell even an SSD becomes a better option.

rev3rse :

Selecting between the two is more based on uses, for gaming going with the LGA2011 platform is waste of money compared to LGA1150. For editing / rendering or professional builds the 2011 kicks in with more PCIe lanes which can handle super fast PCIe based storage solution and so on.

Novuake :

I see. So going for the 4770K would free up about $150, that I could spend on a better GPU, which GPU would you recommend?

rolli59 · Nov 5, 2013

After today's review of the 290, GTX780 until performance of retail cards is proven. If you are on a single 1080P monitor then the 770 is still suitable and nothing bigger needed.

Novuake · Nov 5, 2013

Pretty much the above. If you are willing to wait a week or 3 then the r9 290 COULD shape up to be a MUCH better option.
