Hey all,
The title of this post says it all pretty much. I need another PSU for my build as this one is not available. The EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2 is one awesome PSU, getting a 9.8 on jonnyguru. I was extremely pleased with it but then I found out it's not available ANYWHERE in Switzerland. If it is, then it's just too expensive.
I'm building a skylake based gaming PC, with a Core i5-6600K, ASUS Z170-P, an SSD and an HDD, MSI Radeon R9 390. Ppcpartpicker says it will draw about 476W. The way I chose my power supply before is to take the pcpartpicker figure, round the wattage off to the nearest hundred, then add another 150-200W. Then look at the PSU tier list to find a highly rated PSU. Is this a good method of choosing a PSU?
Now, I'm not sure if I NEED a 750W PSU, or if a 650W PSU will be enough. How much margin should I have? Btw, modularity is not important. Great if the PSU has it at a reasonable price, but not needed. Some of the PSU I have looked at so far are: XFX TS 650W and 750W, Seasonic G series 650W, Antec Truepower 650W, Thermaltake TR2 700W.
