Do i need more power for this build?

Vespasian XIII · May 11, 2017

Hi guys,
Will this rig (without OC'ing be able to run on 600w or will it require more?

CPU- Intel i5 7600k 3.8Ghz
GPU-GTX 1060 6GB
Motherboard- MSI Mortar 1151
RAM- 8GB Corsair

Are there more things i should bear in mind?

What is the specific make and model of the power supply. It says 600W max, but that number can be deceiving.

Generally speaking, a quality 600W power supply is an excellent amount of juice for your system.

hey man, 2 things.

1) that motherboard is not overclockable but your cpu is.

2) if you've got the money get this http://www.ebuyer.com/769400-550w-g3-80-modular-gold-220-g3-0550-y3, otherwise get this http://www.ebuyer.com/782046-corsair-cxm-series-cx550m-550w-80-plus-bronze-cp-9020121-uk

3 get a ssd first, add a hdd alter when u get more money.

good luck

Hey dude,

1. I know, i just really wanted the extra 0.3GHz for £20, im currently on 3.2 and it makes no sense in buying a 3.5 (0.3) increase when i can pay £20 more and get double that. I might OC in the future though and ill get a new motherboard

2. Why would i buy those when i already have a 600w one of the same brand?

3. Yeah i hope to one day when i have the money haha.

Many thanks!

well if you get a new motherboard you also need a new window license might get some driver issues so keep that in mind.

second, for the psu its about the build quality and voltage stability, i guess you've got a corsair cx600, not the most stable unit but will work.

any questions left?

, might swell get the non k chip.

I heard that you can deactivate your OS and then reactivate it if you contact Microsoft and explain you are changing motherboard? Or alternatively as this thread here.

And the price difference between non k chip and k chip is only £20 more, doesnt it make more sense to pay that £20 and get the extra 0.3ghz for it? Thats therefore double the upgrade for the price of £20 and i can OC it in the future if i planned on getting a diff motherboard.
