Greetings,
I need some advice for buying the right PSU for my system. I was looking at the PSU tier list (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html?_ga=1.186321760.870792688.1493308477) and i was wondering, 'do i really need a Tier 1 or Tier 2 PSU for my system?'.
I can't and won't overclock. I use this system mostly to render stills and using applications like AutoCAD, Photoshop, Vray, Revit, SketchUp. I also game on it but not more than 6hrs. I plan on upgrading the GPU to a Gtx 1060.
SO the main question, do i really need a top three tier PSU or i can use a mid-budget unit from a reliable brand.
System Specifications:
CPU - i7 6700 cooled with Corsair H100 water cooler
Mobo - Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3
RAM - Gskill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4
Storage - 1xSamsung 850 Pro 128GB
1xWD Caviar Green 1TB
1xWD Blue 1TB
GPU - Sapphire Radeon 7870 2GB GHz edition
Case - Cooler Master CM 690 II
