Hi there,
I'm working on gathering all the components for my new gaming pc and i've already got a case and psu on the way.
Here's a list of everything else that's going in my new PC :https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WWvv8K
Keep in mind that the GPU is not a new purchase, i'm using my old 970 until prices drop a bit, the power supply is a 650 gold rating model but it's not one from the list provided by pcpartpicker because it's something produced in my country. The PC case is also made here so the manufacturer is not on partpicker's list but it has very positive reviews.
My issue is, will the 650 80+ gold rating psu be enough for those components on my list + 5 case fans (120mm, probably cheap ones) that come with the case. I'm planing on using all 5 of them and that's one of the reasons i went with the b350 gaming plus mobo, 5 case fan connectors, that and the fact i like the idea of pairing my msi gpu with msi mobo.
In theory i know i should have enough power but what happens if i decide that i want to give overclocking a try for the first time. not much, maybe 20-30% on the cpu, give it a bit of a boost, or if i want to use the cooler boost from the msi gaming app.
If overclocking comes up at some point, would a 650 gold rating power supply still be enough for cpu gpu and 5 case fans, or will the psu just burn up in flames? Or maybe it's not enough even for turbo clocking ... i just don't know how pcpartpicker calculates the wattage if it's for stock speeds or if they take into account turbo modes, oc and all that other stuff.
If you're wondering why i'm trying to make this as budget as possible or if you think a 10$ upgrade on one component would be better think of this. Parts over here are at a minimum 25% more expensive than in the US. The SSD is almost 60% more expensive. You get the idea.
Thanks in advance!
