will a 650w psu be enough for i7 4790k and gtx 1070

Zachary154019 · Apr 24, 2017

i was planning to get a gtx 1070 and was wondering if a 650w psu (Asus U-65GA be be specific) be enough for an i7 4790k and gtx 1070.
I'm not going to overclock it.

650W is enough, but i have never heard anything about Asus PSU units.... I would go with something more trusted.

Thing is each PSU brand say the same - how good their PSUs are.. but its not always true. If you want to buy a good unit which will last long use this site. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Review_Cat&recatnum=13

Its not a bad psu, not very good either, its old and not very efficient by today's standards How long have you been using it? They haven't made those in a while so it must be quite old, might be worth replacing. Hardware secrets has a review of it from 2009, I linked it below.

My links were not worth checking?

Zachary154019 · Apr 24, 2017

they were, its just that i don't know what to look for in a psu other than the wattage so I didn't really know what to look at in the links

First link, jump right into conclusion of each PSU... there are points set by expert.
Second link there are tiers, 1 tier are best PSUs but those are expensive, so look for tier 2-3. Depends on your budget.
And easiest way, just tell what is your budget and people will help u to find best deal for $.
