I want to build a pc with a i5 8600k a gtx 1060 6gb sc and i want to put a psu with 650 watt in this build. Is this to much power for this build?

Any other options? The Bequiet PSU isn't good enough. I run my PC on a 450W PSU with a similar draw, but I don't think that Corsair 450 will handle it. Big difference in PSU between that one and the one I use. That leaves the original one you listed. Which I would still get if there are no other options.

Is it really a 650W? Can it output that much power at 50C? There are 500W units I would hook up to the system you listed. There are 750W units I won't even let in my house.

The CPU is sub 100W, and the GPU is around 150W I think. You are talking about ~300W total system draw while gaming. For a 500W PSU that's 60% of it's output. It's not even 50% of the output for a 650W. But as sizzling mentioned above, which 650?

You already have this PSU right?

If you already have it, use it. It's not the best PSU, but it's not a fire hazard either. It won't last long at 50C, but it should power your setup. If you are buying a PSU it's not the best unit out there. Are there other PSUs available?

I do not have any other options because i live in the Netherlands and everything is a bit limited. You have some other sites with more
power supplies but they are really expensive.
