Braidster Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 First time poster, long time lurker here and just doing a new build, but my PSU selection has been backordered awhile and thinking about my options. I have a white rmx850 ordered but I'm thinking about going with the 750w version as I can get it now. I do plan to overclock and here are specs... 3900x Asus CH Hero 8 Gigabyte 2080 ti 64gb Gskill Royal 2x m.2 Aio w/10 fans total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAttack Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi Braidster, Yes, the 750W PSU should be more than enough, your estimated wattage would be near to less than 500W without overclocking. You can always check this website: https://pcpartpicker.com/ just to make sure, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidster Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hey thanks so much for the reply! Yeah why I asked Partpicker gives me an estimate of 588w used which of course would be preoverclocking. I also am going to be using three more fans which I forgot to add (so 13 total), and a couple light strips. The other problem is I'd actually pay more for the 750w version then the 850w due to higher shipping costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be prepared to have a lot of wires! :biggrin: Are you also doing a Push/Pull configuration on your Liquid Cooler? If time is not an issue, then wait for the 850W.

Yeah I'm building this all into an O11 XL so I'm going to have plenty room. The plan is to maybe full water cool later in the year. I'm going to be running the AIO normal with 3 fans, but going to use the stock NZXT fans that come with the X73 in a push/pull on the side/back location. Time isn't an issue per say but as I've been driving myself nuts planning this for months, and most of the parts already on the way I'm getting a little ancy. I'll probably wait it out another week when things start to show up, and then make a decision based on that. It's a White case with white QL fans so going with the Black version is another option, and would look good with the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a good build going, remember patience is a virtue, always worth waiting! :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidster Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thank you! Here is the complete build plus I added a Commander Pro, Lian Li Strimer cables, and a vertical gpu mount. Really excited it's my first PC build in like 15yrs. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/7rdjQq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidster Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I ended up finding the White RMx850w in stock and snatched it up as quick as I could :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAttack Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 That's an outstanding build! The wait for building that was defiantly worth it, I can tell! Nice, you got yourself the 850w, enjoy the build now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
