would this power supply be powerful enough?

[Ian Jones]

My PC sec is in my tag at the bottom.

My current ocz 750w, has been fine for the last 3-4 years that I have had it, But since reading a few posts about the psu and that people would not trust there rigs on it.

This got me thinking after getting my 1070 amp extreme, to start and look for a new psu.

is this BeQuiet one powerful enough, and would work with my set up please?

many thanks

It is powerful enough, but it is overpriced imo.

The Bitfenix Whisper 550W for example has a longer warranty of 7 years and is only £77.99. It is plenty for an i5 3570K and single GTX 1070.

Keep using the OCZ. The ZS 750w is not a bad psu. Reviews were all over the palce ranging from 8.1/10 to 9+/10 across the whole series. It's a Sirtec built unit with 648w on a single 12v rail. It's hardly going to be taxed with a pc built around a 3570k and a 1070. I doubt if you would be pulling much more than 300w at the wall even with the cpu overclocked.

Be-Quiet are very overpriced and rather mediocre which is why they are rarely suggested on here.
