Will this PSU be enough for watercooling?

HI 8Pack

Im thinking of moving my system into an Overclockers watercooled case and I also need a new PSU as my current PSU is about to kick the bucket.

This is the case I am interested in...

I was wondering,, Would this following PSU provide enough power for my system?

My Current system

i7 3770k
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
128GB SSD
16GB Corsair Vengeance
1TB Seagate Barracuda
MSI GTX 780
DVD Optical Drive

Any info appreciated.

No, I dont think I will. I think the 780 is enough for me at the moment...

What about this one??

Gives me a little extra power..
At the moment My XFX PSU is giving me trouble with the internal fan grinding and I also get coil whine from my GPU because of it. So I want a better quality PSU so that the noise problems disappear.

Thanks for the info lad

I used a Power calculator to determine which PSU Wattage I should buy and it said that my system uses 605W.

Dyewitness · 8 Feb 2014 at 17:17

So the 650w would work fine with the watercooled case I specified?

Cheers,

That super flower one seems pretty decent. I suppose it doesnt matter if its modular or not seeing as the cables can be hidden in the Case I am interested in.
As long as you are sure 650W will be sufficient for my power needs!

Anyone else have any input on this???

I re-done the power calculator and it said my system uses 552W.

Thats a good one

Thats good to know lad. I think ill go for that one..

Dyewitness · 9 Feb 2014 at 10:02

OK Thanks.

Ill be able to hide unused cables with the case I am selecting as It has a space at the back for PSU. Cables and other stuff.

Dyewitness · 9 Feb 2014 at 10:45

Yeh I agree. Means all the wiring and messy stuff will be around the back lol

Dyewitness · 9 Feb 2014 at 12:09

Hi guys

Dyewitness · 9 Feb 2014 at 15:30

Anyone? lol

Dyewitness · 9 Feb 2014 at 21:24

Would this be a better option?

Thanks 8pack

i ended up getting the 550w modular seasonic gold rated psu. i still havent bought the watercooled case yet, but i am now looking at the 4930k and an asus rampage extreme black edition. my system is running fine on the 550w but i am wondering will it still be fine with the the new cpu, mobo and watercooled case?
