Here is my new build: It is pretty much the same as my previous build except for the new graphics case extra fans and a fan controller, I also want to be ready for next year for when AM4 comes out with DDR4 ram so that means new processor new motherboard and new ram not sure what the power draw will be.
AMD FX-8350 NZXT Kraken X60 Asus Sabertooth R2.0 16GB Kingston Beast 1866 Ram HIS 7970 3Gb DDR3 Gigahurtz edition HIS R9 280X 3Gb DDR3 256GB Adata SSD 2X 1TB Barracuda HDD, Corsair Vengeance C70 (I know case doesn't matter but thought I would list it) 6 Noctua 140MM fans 4 Noctua 120MM fans NZXT Sentry Mix 2 fan controller Asus cd-burner thingy drive hardware that I never use
I don't know much about how much power I need, I was running a cooler master 700W Bronze certified but I'm adding the R9 280X More fans and the fan controller and maybe some LED's but I know LED's hardly draw anything.
I also am waiting for AMD's new socket and processor to come out next year and don't want to have to buy another power supply one when they do I want to be ready for those upgrades.
I just used one of those power supply calculators I used this one. http://powersupplycalculator.net/ And it says I will be using 118W at Idle and 744W under load and it recommends a 920W power supply and that didn't calculate my water cooler but it got everything else. So I guess I should get a 1000W power supple at minimum? or should I go bigger? Is that EVGA one I picked good enough or should I pick a different one to be honest psu's are the part in a PC that I know the least about. So any advice will be appreciated I love to learn.
i was looking at some of the higher wattage ones and I really don't want to spend $300 if possible I would like to stay around the $200 price range going a little over is OK but being under would be WAY better.
So to some it up here are my questions I need answers to.
Should I go bigger than 1000W to be ready for DDR4 and AM4 socket when it comes out? Is EVGA a good brand? If not what btand should I go for?
I haven't bought one yet I am thinking about going with the Seasonic because they say it is the best one but the EVGA has the longest warranty 10 years.
All of those PSU's are fine to my knowledge but I don't know much about Rosewill PSU's. As long as you buy a PSU that is 80+ certified and that is at least tier two you should be fine. Which the PSU you bought falls under both of those categories & is fully modular, so you did good.
