Power supply advice for a 4090 Strix

[Darkwolf441]

Ive got a 4090 Strix coming and at the moment I have an RM850x powering my 1080TI Strix As my 2080Ti died. I know that 850 won't be enough. But my mate is selling his Corsair RMx 1200 Shift. So I was wondering if that would be ok to power the 4090. I am concerned about the Type 5 connectors and the power draw 4090. Or should I look at a better PSU? If so what Range to look at? If I go with the Corsair I will have to buy all new custom cables again. With thanks.

A 1200w psu will be enough for a 4090 and 12900k although the shift series of psu's will not fit in every case as the cables come from the side of the psu and not the front as with conventional psu's.

If it could handle an overclocked 2080 Ti, it should (near enough) handle a stock 4090, but I'd take the shift if the deal is good and it fits.

Fits yes. And £80.

Nice deal, especially if it includes all the cables.

It does, but this means i wont be able to use my cable mod cables as there type 4. So I would need to buy them again. So that bumps up the price of what I've to fork out. Not sure to look at a direct 12 pin cable one.
