PSU EVGA 750 Semi Modular Enough for a 3700x with a GTX 1080?

[ChimpoStrongbow]

As the title suggests, I am currently in the process of building a new Ryzen 3700x with a GTX 1080, Desktop. I am stuck on what power supply I should go for. I was considering:

EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W, Semi Modular 210-GQ-0750-V3.

I assume 750W is plenty for this build, possibly overkill? What would you suggest otherwise.

I do also plan on upgrading the graphics card down the line.

Thank you.

Yes.

600-650w is plenty if you want to save a few Bob.
Corsair rmx 650 for £90 on offer at ocuk currently is a good shout

Say I was going to get a RTX 2080 Super or even a 2080ti, will a 600w-650w support this?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes.

3700x oc = 130w
2080ti oc = 280w
Rest of components = 40w

Max peak power draw = 450w

If however you were going for the fireplace 9900k
9900k oc = 250w
2080ti oc + rest of components = 320w
In this case then a 700-750w psu could be argued...

Excellent! Thank you.

@EsaT .

More then. Enough but forum user above has a super knowledge with power units ! ^^^

Heads up, Riotoro G2 650w.. Seasonic focus unit rebranded, only 5 yr warranty Vs direct 10 with Seasonic but like £30-40 cheaper

3700x oc = 130w
2080ti oc = 280w
Rest of components = 40w

Likely not much sense of manual overclocking with AMD's well working automatic boosting.
Unless just wanting more heat into room...

But 2080 Ti, especially overclocked, is certainly 300W card.
There are non-reference cards averaging that in gaming at default settings:

And some are up to 400W cards:

So 350W for manual overclocking wouldn't be exaggeration.
Everything what Nvidia makes isn't frugal in its power draw.

Anyway unless going for heavier building space heater overclocking 750W is enough...
When CPU isn't Intel's double advertised TDP to get real full load power draw model.


Again GTX 1080 is pretty frugal in its power draw.
(non-reference models again more than marginally hungrier)

lol 340w...looks like they bypassed nvidia's limit...
