Title: Upgrading PC - PSU Question
Post by: Aimzz on April 11, 2015, 05:17:57 pm: Hi,

So I am planning on upgrading my PC, but some parts will not be upgraded which is why I am making this topic. The things which I plan on buying are the following:

Corsair Obsidian 750D Big Tower Black
ASUS LGA2011-3 X99-DELUXE/U3.1
Intel Core i7-5930K, Socket-LGA2011-3
Gigabyte GeForce G1 GAMING GTX 980 4GB "Windforce X3"
HyperX Fury 2133MHz 16GB (4x4GB)
Corsair H110i GT Hydro Series CPU Cooler
Kingston 120GB SSD/1 TB WD Caviar BLACK

Now my question is, will a Corsair TX750 (750W) Power supply be enough for this setup? As the PSU I currently have is working completely fine I would not like to replace it but the question is if it can provide enough power?

The power supply will give you enough power.

Though one thing - Not sure what your usage will be, but for me, 1 TB wouldn't enough. I got quite many games, school projects and been doing video editing here, all those on 2,6 TB of storage. And I'm like 3/4th full.

Unlikely as Corsair has a good reputation regarding PSUs.

A single series can have a good reputation, but the next might burn down your house.
