Hey!

I checked all the psu calculators and it said it would be ok.
I need to be sure, so can you tell me?
(not overclocking much, just want to 4.5-4.8)

My upcoming build:
-I7 7700k
- Pure Rock cooler (can change it but im on a budget!!!)
-Asus strix Z270H motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (4x2) 3000mhz
- Samsung 850 Evo 512gb
- Asus Strix Gtx 1060 6gb
- Corsair 400Q case
- PSU - corsair CX450m


Ps I already have the psu

i7 7700 max turbo frequency is 4.2ghz and it is a 65 watt chip. It also comes with its' own heatsink fan combo. The i7 7700k max turbo frequency is 4.5ghz and is a 91 watt chip. You would have to buy a separate heatsink/fan combo for it. The i7 7700k also runs a lot warmer.

Since overclocking does not seem to matter to you it is really not going to make that much of a difference. you will however save money in the short and long term with the non k version due to its' power output.

Also the i7 7700 will fit more in line with your 450w power supply. You would probably have to upgrade that with the i7 7700k.

I dont really understand the difference for them (i know that "k" is overclockedable, but does it really help ??)
