Hi everyone,

I'm looking to start buying pieces for my first-ever PC build (my current is a prebuilt).

I'm not sure sure if I will be going 7700K or 6900 yet but will be running a 1080ti that's for sure - everything with be OC'd eventually.

I want to use a Platinum PSU to power all of this. I know that 750w will be more than enough power but I want a PSU that will be able to take it all in its stride operating at around its maximum peak efficiency rather than say a 550w running its nuts off at full pelt.

I am looking at the EVGA P2 range as I like the idea of the 10-year warranty but I would also like recommendations on other Platinum PSUs.

Thanks very much in advance.

I have a Corsair 80+ Bronze and it is running smooth. I know the EVGA series is a pretty good brand. However, I seen a lot of builds cross over to Corsair. It's not going to hurt to have 750W in there, just in case you want to upgrade. I tiwll be expensive if you want platinum.

You say platinum and I immediately think Silverstone https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Platinum-Certified-PS-ST65F-PT/dp/B017WL5UFO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479417253&sr=8-3&keywords=silverstone+platinum .

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/psus/2015/11/17/silverstone-st75f-pt-review/1 shows your idea about the P2 would be a better idea from their perspective.
 
There is no point in giving recommendations without a set budget or real* specs.
None of the products listed have been released yet, so we cant accurately predict their power consumption.

Depending on budget you can save money for other components, or invest it into an even better unit (IE Titanium units).
