Currently going with the below build, and looking to OC.
According to extreme power calculator, with OC on CPU and GPU (given that the gigabyte card under load takes around 80w more than reference) will take up around 710w of power under full load.
Given that this is quite close the threshold, wondering whether a 750w PSU will be efficient enough/safe to run given that voltage spikes might just crash the PC altogether.
Should I upgrade to the 850w?
Thoughts below. Thanks.
