KT1578 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/KT1578/saved/x3p4CJ Both 1080 Ti ‘s will be overclocked, and the I7 8700K will also be OC’d.) I saw that the minimum recommendation for dual GPU overclocked was 750 watts, but I have all of these extra things I will need to plug into my PC at once, like keyboard, mouse, headphones, microphone, USB storage devices, phones and other devices, sound bar, game pad, flight simulation stuff, and a few more. FYI I will be using an Anker 10 port USB hub. Will 850 watts really be enough? Or is it safer to just stick with 1000 watts (what I currently have)?

Zotty Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Think I would prefer the Extra head room of something a little larger than 1000 given your planned set up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT1578 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Think I would prefer the Extra head room of something a little larger than 1000 given your planned set up.... So you think I should get 1200w then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Personally.. yes if going SLI and considering today's loads of rgb/ peripherals/ storage drives/ coolers/ fans etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 PC Part Picker tends to estimate high, which is good. While a 1200W PSU would give you some head room, a 1000W would be fine. For comparison ... PC Part Picker rates my build at a little over 400W. But I rarely see more than 300W, even during gaming. The challenge is that, once you go over 1000W, PSUs, especially high efficiency PSUs, are getting harder and harder to find due to the cryptominers. If you can get the 1200W, go for it. If not, the 1000W will be fine. It'll run a little warmer and the fan will run a little more but it'll provide the power you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
