Hey everyone, I need help picking a PSU!
Will there be a difference in power consumption between 750W and 500W psu if all your rig draws is 300-400w?
The build I'm going for (gaming pc): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Xhxx3C
i5 4690k
gtx 960
1 hhd
and I've considered two PSUs,
1) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016&cm_re=evga_500w-_-17-438-016-_-Product
evga 500w white ~40 dollars
2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N0668&cm_re=750w_g2-_-17-438-017-_-Product
evga 750w G2 ~120 dollars
I was worried the 750w PSU would be overkill for my build, and the 500w too little when I wish to upgrade/OC later down the line. The advantage with the 750 is the 10 year warranty, so I was thinking I could reuse it in a 4-6 years time. And, the 750w is 5 dollars more expensive than the 650w (same brand), and 20 dollars more than a 550w (similar PSU, modular, gold rating).
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
