Worried an RM850x isn’t enough :-(

[Reality Bites]

Just putting a build together around a ryzen 5800x and b550 mb.

I ordered the RM850x thinking I’d be adding a 3080 or 3080 ti so should be enough.

Anyway, went stupid and ordered a 3090ti (evga ftw black for what it’s worth).

Is the 850w gonna cut it?

Kinda good to hear…..I’ve not had the 850 delivered yet so have the chance to swap to a 1000.

I may even just send the card back, depends if I find a 3080 somewhere for a non crazy price

I’ve used loads of online calculators and I get recommendations from 750 to 1000w! Crazy variations.

i know the 850 should be enough but I’ve also ordered a 1000w …l for the sake of an extra £35, thought it would cover me for the future too. I’m going to be running a few usb devices from it as well as a good few fans. I’ll keep looking, worst case, I have to send either the 850 or 1000 one back.

one thing I was worried about was the “spikes“ which systems can have and accounting for those too?
