Hi guys, I'm planning to build another new PC, here's the build:

I'm planning to buy Corsair's PSU for this build, maybe AXi series to match the red/black theme and using the Link to utilize the extra USB 2.0 header that comes with the motherboard.

But I wonder which wattage should I get since I'm going to OC the CPU, GPU's, memory, everything to their limits...

I know the fact that the AXi series is a solid build PSU and it's consistent as a top tier PSU.

IF.... I get the 760w will it be enough? Is it safe? Or should I stretch my budget a bit to get the 860w? please let me know...

Don't tell me anything silly like, "Just get the 1500w and you're good to go". I get that a lot.

Thank you.

Can't find EVGA's product here in Indonesia. Look's like they stop selling.

I ask whether 760w from AXi is sufficient enough for this build, since I'll OC everything to their limits.
