Is a 1000w gold power supply efficient enough for a titan x, 32 gb RAM, intel i7 5820k with air cooler?
The EVGA Supernova G2 850W
Best 850w on the market.
Summary
Buy one. Do I really need to say anything else at this point? Once again, EVGA has something awesome here the competition can't seem to touch price wise. Performance? There are better units, yes. Not very many, but they exist. The real story here is how EVGA keeps managing to offer this kind of performance and still be more affordable than nearly everything else out there, and they have pretty much found perhaps the only OEM on Earth capable of doing it for them. It's got to be real nice being EVGA...

The Good:
outstanding ripple suppression
excellent voltage regulation
fully modular
semi-fanless mode
nice blacked out cabling
The Bad:
nothing at all
The Mediocre:
reviewing awesome units is getting dull... where's that gutless wonder in my pile? Second in line? Well, at least I'm guaranteed something interesting in all the wrong ways in a couple weeks... JONNYGURU.
a 140W TDP CPU with a 250W TDP GPU on air with other components, probably only topping 480-490W (if everything is running at the same time), that 10 year warranty 850W is a good bet.
Overkill. For a single TitanX and 5820k 700W PSU is sufficient. Don't waste bucks on high Watts PSU. Better spend on a very good quality gold/platinum rated 700-750W PSU.
TitanX with 5930k and Rampage V on Corsair AX 760 was no where bottlenecked.
Dang lol ok. Thanks fellas. It's my first ever build so I was unsure of how much wattage I needed to power it. I heard 850 at the least when I was thinking about a standard 980. But, now I've decided to go all in on the titan x and figured I should go up but wanted to make sure
I meant 5930k... but even with that mistake ot seems like 850 gold EVGA G2.. again, thanks everyone for your help. This site has answered a ton of questions for me.
