Hi,
i am specking out a new build after 10 years, with the new build total currently at 3.5k i am looking to save money where i can. sadly the GPU is eating all my budget ( Nvidia). i curently have a 850W Seasonic PSU in my system, at the time i bought (2018) it it was overkill but only £100 then.
my new build on PC partpicker adds up to 635 watts total with a 4080. Can i use my old 850 PSU when everything is on full load? would this be a safe thing to do or should i buy a new 1000W PSU? using my existing PSU would save me £300.
Thanks
Paul
