Is 750w enough to power my Build?

Diosa20 · Nov 10, 2015

I ordered my PC parts yesterday which are,
Intel core i7 4790 (non k)
Evga GTX 970 4gb Graphics Card
16GB of Hyperx fury ram
MSI z97 gaming 5 Motherboard
H100i GTX Liquid Cooler
and four SP fans for the Cooler
I also ordered a Corsair CXM 80 Plus Bronze PSU
I saw some comment online saying the ''Cheap'' Corsair PSU's such as the CX series can cause your build to go on fire? I don't think that would happen? Corsair is a very respected Company with quality Products.. Tell me if I'm wrong, but will the 750w PSU be able to power this whole rig? Thanks in advance!

The Corsair CX series of power supplies aren't that good. Corsair's peripherals and liquid coolers are not bad, but that doesn't mean all their products are as good.

Check the tier list for help

Your system can easily run with a 550 watt PSU. I do not recommend Corsair power supplies but if you already bought it, so be it.

what power supply would you reccomend?

Haven't heard of one catching fire. But they seem to have an avg life span of about a year. I have seen them blow smoke when a cap pops though0.

If possible cancel the order and buy a better unit.

One quick quesntion. Why spend $100 on a cpu cooler for a locked cpu?

bignastyid :

bignastyid :

is this a good choice for the psu and will it perform and last long? EVGA SuperNOVA 750W PC Power Supply - Gold

bignastyid · Nov 10, 2015

As long as it's a b2,g2, gs, or p. The b1 and g1 should be avoided.

Diosa20 · Nov 10, 2015

bignastyid :

i will order this later today

bignastyid · Nov 10, 2015

The 750 G2 is an excellent psu
