Is 850W sufficient?
 
Solution


I really wouldnt call it anywhere near a beast, but anyways...

850W is a complete overkill.

Even a 620W...

Even a 620W would be more than enough.

These would be my personal recommendation:
XFX TS 650W
EVGA GS 650W
Antec HCG 620W
Seasonic M12II 620W

True, the CPU and DDR3-1600 kind of bottleneck it a bit, but it's beast enough for me (until Crysis 4 comes out :p).
Thanks for the recommendations.

The CPU and RAM is not going to botleneck the system at all. The build is a solid build, its just that it is mid ranged gaming build.

For his build 620W is more than enough.
