I'm planning to get and overclock a GTX 1070 when it comes out, but I have an old GTX 465 that I'd like to use as a dedicated PhysX card.
When I used the PSU wattage calculator, the baseline recommended wattage was 832w, with overvoltage of the 1070 set at 50%. However, the amount of wattage recommended goes up as the clock speed goes up. As I do not know how much I will be overclocking the 1070, I'd like to know if I should get the 850W or the 1000W version of the EVGA Supernova G2.
I'd rather not get the 1000W version unless needed.
I also have an i5 3570k at ~1.275v clocked at 4.3GHz, if that helps.
