Hey everyone, I've initiated the first stage of my upgrade (GPU) and I've had some problems with it (read here) and I think I've narrowed it down to the PSU. Even though I have more than enough power for both what I have now and my what I'll have post-upgrade, the replies I received as well as some other threads point towards the PSU being the problem.

Here are my current specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690
RAM: 8.00 GB
Graphics: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080Ti Xtreme Edition 11GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97M-D3H
Power Supply: Corsair CX750

And after the upgrade's finished:
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K
RAM: Either 16 or 32GB RAM (haven't decided yet, probably going with 16 though.)
Graphics: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080Ti Xtreme Edition 11GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270-Gaming K3
Power Supply: ?

I need some recommendations for a PSU that's going to work with what I have now and what I will have in the future. Any assistance is greatly appreciated :)

That was one bleep of a lesson. You paid them.... Never mind, spilled and curdled milk.

Can you please go into your BIOS/UEFI and check your 12V level? It may be within the Health Monitor section or something like that.

I chose the Seasonic G Series 650W 80+ Gold for my system which won't be upgraded for at least 2 years.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151186&cm_re=Seasonic_650W-_-17-151-186-_-Product is my recommendation.

BTW I did start saving back in March of last year. It took until last month to save enough. I researched my upgrade paths until I was positive I was making the best possible move that would make the most of my $2000 upgrade budget limit. In other words my answer is well informed.

The 7700K gets way too warm. That is a known issue. Please skip that and choose the 8700K instead.

Hi, sorry for the late response. I'm currently looking at the "PC Health Status" tab in my UEFI. I see the following:

CPU Vcore 1.152 V
CPU VRIN 1.752 V
DRAM Voltage 1.548 V
+3.3V 3.344 V
+5V 5.070 V
+12V 12.096 V
CPU VAXG 0.012 V

B E A utiful numbers. The +12 rail(s) should be as close to 12V as possible and the number shouldn't change.

Since the PSU seems to be fine, any idea what else could be the problem? Faulty GPU? Motherboard?
