Hi all,
I'm super close to spending £1,200 on a new rig... I can't really afford it and I don't 'need' it, but I do really fancy it, and like a child I keep 'building' a basket full of all the stuff I need.
Anyway, in my never ending quest to make it great but still under £1,200 I change stuff periodically because something good is on a 'this week only' offer or the price has gone up because stuff in the basket is no longer on offer etc, and today I've removed the PSU.
I'm going to be getting an i5, a GTX670 and have around 5 or six fans in the case.
I'm very unlikely to add a second card later on but I guess its not out of the question that I will one day upgrade the GPU.
So, what size PSU do I need? I did have an 850W in my initial spec but I'm wondering if that may be a little overkill?
Be warned, if you give me the right answer you could be the reason I spend cash which would be better used on something more constructive!
