Hello ladies and gents,
I am slowly looking to upgrade my kids PC. Having bought myself a R7 5700x for myself I passed on my R5 1600.
They are currently running a 4 year old 500w Thermaltake bronze. In the next couple of months, looking to give them the 5700x and upgrade to Ryzen 7000 for myself. Both PCs will then get 6700XT or new Nvidia/Radeon equivalent.
Outervision reckons that configuration (5700x/6700XT) draws around 471w with components so looking to buy a 750w PSU for it (500w*50%) and sell the older PC as a working system.
The Seasonic Focus GX 750W Gold Modular is currently on special on OCUK for £85. For the same price I can get Corsair RM750 (2021) or for £80 NZXT C750 NP C750M Gold Modular.
I am aware that PCIe connections may be changing for newer GPUs coming out and potentially motherboards may need 2x 4+4 EPS connectors. Should I buy one of those (or something else) now or wait for new CPU/GPU specs to become available and then wait months to not be able to power them as PSUs go into short supply.
Regards
NB
