Ok. So after reading mixed statements and facts about PSUs I'm yet lost again lol. I did an updated calculator I found on the NZXT Facebook page and with everything I put in there it gave me a max of 670w. That's including 2x GTX 760 ti, oc CPU at 4.5ghz w/1.40v (139w) 2x SSD, 2 extra 250mm fans. Instead of the default 90% TDP, I put in 100%. Still recommended a 750w PSU. I also did my old rig too. With like a couple extra fans, and it said like 480w. Recommended a 650w PSU. So all in all.. What do I do? Do I believe the estimates of the calculator, or what? I keep seeing people say I won't need a 1000w PSU unless I'm running 3 video cards. And we're also talking about a huge difference in price too. Future proof is what I was going for with my newer build.. But not wasted wattage too.
I'm asking this because my old rig's PSU finally croaked on me. It was almost 8 years old, so was expected. I was thinking of putting my current 750w PSU in my old one, and getting a new one for my newer build. But so I just get the same 750w PSU, or just get a smaller one for my old rig?
