and i just wanted to confirm with you guys in the know if the Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply is going to be adequate to power it. Im waiting on the final delivery and its my first build. Im just overthinking, but wanted to ensure I have more than adequate power supply for the machine i intend on building.

Thanks all for your input. Unfortunately this is a question I'm asking after having purchased the RM750 so I'm kinda hoping its not a poor decision on my part, of course I could return it. But i'm not planning on sticking too much more kit in there, so the 750W limit is all my main concerns are. Of course reliability is key, and from what I have read, its pretty good. I respect the earlier post that puts this PSU in a lower tier, which is a little disconcerting. My main concern is that its not loud/doesnt burn out/ can handle the kit as mentioned above. There will always be a better part, Im kinda just hoping its more than capable of the load and doesnt fry my stuff!

PCPartpicker says all that kit is likely to draw close to 450W - so 750 should be fine i hope.

Does anyone recommend the RM750 - It would certainly put my mind to rest. But all comments still welcome. Cant wait to get the build made, waiting on GPU/MOBO/FANS...

I DID ask if the PSU was adequate in the thread so if its the difference of a few pence, then yes I will stick with what I have. If its not adequate for the system, and wont cope with the load, then of course, thats why this thread exists. According to the original post you made, the PSU isn't suitable for serious OC, which i wont be doing, as its a system for work, no gaming, so I think with all thats been said, it will be suitable for my purposes. You input is valued, and thanks for your reply.
