Yes, fair point. Problem is, the moment the specs are announced, PSU availability may plummet and prices may soar.

Thanks - that was my understanding too. That said, it now sounds like 1200W might not be enough!

Sorry for the bump - any thoughts on this one?

The rumoured power requirements for the Nvidia 4000-series are beyond terrifying. Given I'd expect the launch of that line to spark a mad rush to buy PSUs, I thought I might get started early. I've currently got an RM850x (2018) in my case. Looking at the upgrade options, the HX1200 Platinum looks like it should be plenty for my system, even if the worst of the Nvidia rumours are true. Now, my system is pretty tightly cabled at the moment and the idea of recabling the entire thing is pretty soul-destroying. My read of the Corsair PSU cable compatibility chart is that I should be able to keep the cables when I move from an RM850x to the HX1200. Can anybody confirm or deny that before I risk frying my PC?
