New build need a psu is 850w to much power or just right?

ssmokeyy · Jul 9, 2016

I'm starting to get some parts for this build. It's going to take 6 months to build it. I'm going to start with the case and psu.

Build list
Corsair 780t
Kabylake 1151 series cpu i7
Asus or gigabyte mother board
Sli gtx 1080 or 1080ti need it for 4k gaming with her
M.2 ssd for Os.
Ssd 500 gig for heavy played games.
Sshd 2tb for storage
2tg wd black for business file backup
32 gig of Corsair ddr4
Blu-ray drive

Psu I'm looking at is evga 850 g2 and p2, seasonic x-850, Corsair ax860i.
I know there all good but for me I have a problem with each one of them. Corsair and evga being they don't build there own psu. X-850 is really old from 2011-2013 time. Never heard of super flower but I know there the ones building the evga brand psu. I would like to order today any help would be great.

I would recommend the SuperNOVA P2. I know it's not technically made by EVGA, but it is of very high quality.

buy the cpu and mobo and ram at the same time, to test if mobo isn't DOA, otherwise you will have the mobo but when you finally going to build it ain't working -,-

The motherboard box can be used as a handy little test bench

as you like, i see you want gigabyte or asus mobo, asrock are doing very good if it comes to mobo's !

When kaby lake comes out I'm going to order the cpu and motherboard at the same time. Last time I built a rig witch was in 2011 asrock seemed like the new guy and wasn't building top tier boards. Has that changed? Do they build there own gear or is a company like asus making it for them?

Back to psu. I have seen some of them list that there digital like the thermaltake dps and corsair ax860i Should I be looking at this style more?

for psu any tier 1/2 800w+ will do the job http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

as for asrock they are making their own.they have really good reputation and reviews. you really shouldn't ignore them.

Ordered corsair 780t case and evga 850 p2 today. Thank u all for the help. Now I just need to find out what bluray drive I need for 4k bluray disc. I also get to wait for kaby lake now.

Here is a list of available Blu Ray drives, in order of highest to lowest user ratings.

OP, would you please select a more pertinent Best Answer? I appreciate you selecting mine, but it doesn't really answer the post as a whole.

Make sure you go to a site that sells Blu-ray software , because drives don't com with it , goes for about $50.00 to $100.00.

FREE ones are legit and don't work properly , because they aren't licensed by One Blue.

I'm not sure if I really need a drive yet. Going to wait some time and here if msoft is going to open up Xbox disc to use on pc
