Hey /g/
quick question, is a 530w psu from be quiet! enough for a i7 6700k +
Asus Z170-A Mainboard + 2x8GB RAM from Crucial + Asus 970 + 128gb ssd from Samsung enough? My budget doesnt allow me to get a new semi modular PSU right now but only next month.
Before you go >buying a 970 now. I got it when it was brand new but my current cpu is bottlenecking me hard on 144fps.
500W is enough for any single CPU and GPU assuming you aren't doing some stupid OC.

Thanks, Im not planning on doing any OC until I have a brand new PSU.

you can easily OC the CPU to 4.5GHz and even the GPU to whatever it can hit on air cooling.
By stupid OC I mean LN2 cooling and trying to pull a 5.2GHz OC or some shit.
Your CPU is 95w at stock, OC'd it might be able to pull 175w.
Your GPU is 145w, OC'd maybe 200w in worst case scenario.
That's at most ~375w. Add in your other components is another ~50w at most.
So ~425w even OC'd to pretty high levels.

Also enjoy Rx 480 users laughing at you.

Fuck Nvidia, I'm waiting for the 490 and finally switch to AMD this year.
>>55392837
Laughing, anon? Or crying over roasted PCIe slots?

Fuck the 490, I'm waiting for the 590 before even considering an upgrade. Mind you, I do have a Fury X.

>Or crying over roasted PCIe slots?
I love this meme. Where are all the dead motherboards that the GTX 960 roasted?
>>55393117
Its been confirmed by some professional who knows their shit that a worthwhile motherboard can supply up to 200w over a PCI-E slot without problems.
75w is just a minimum standard. There's no reason why a higher grade motherboard cannot supply more than the MINIMUM standard capacity.

Anon, did you notice that the 480 goes over the 75W limit way more often than the 960? I mean, it doesn't take a genius to see that if you take the integral of both graphs, the 480 will be SIGNIFICANTLY higher.
>>55393992
Conversely the 960 peaks higher and more often than the 480, but the 480 is sustaining slightly higher average draw.
