JonDnD 2,644 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Aren't the new nvidia cards supposed to be lower wattage than the current ones ? I'll probably get whatever card is closest to 180 watts cause that's what my psu can handle and I don't want to get another psu. I've only had a few games that used more than 50 percent of my cpu right now at 60fps. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm overclocking my CPU and my GPU and occasionally things might go black forcing a hard reset. Got me wondering if my PSU is not enough. It's my oldest PSU, the PSUs I had before were under 500W and they all died, probably because I went over the limit. If I were you I'd look into going to a bigger PSU.

I'm not planning on over clocking my gpu and you can't overclock an 8700 so everything will be at normal power levels . I've never had an issue with my current psu But id imagine w over clocking 550 watts would be dangerous especially w amd cards that are already power hungry 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Mother Fucker 26 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 the GPU i'm using for that particular PC is the Aorus GTX 1660 Ti. I think this GPU has a lot room to pull and with NVIDIA's driver updates in recent months, it's made this overlooked card super fast. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like a waste of money. Its like having an xbox or ps4 and buying multiplats on Ditch Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not planning on doing any OC and don't mind a little bit of noise, the wraith prism stock cooler that comes with it should be good enough. If not, and you prefer an AIO (All In One) liquid cooler, then pretty much any 280mm AIO will do a great job. As for cases, which MOBO form factor are you trying to go with? ATX? Then a good mid-tower ATX case would be the Fractal Meshify S2. https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshify-s2-tempered-glass/black/ I dunno what kind of budget you want to put towards the case though.

I know those parts are a lot cheaper nowadays then they used to be. Link to post Share on other sites

I know those parts are a lot cheaper nowadays then they used to be. It's extremely simple. It's essentially the same as attaching the stock cooler. Easy as pie these days regardless, and there's no maintenance involved, ever. (besides blowing out dust from the fans obviously) Edited June 5, 2020 by Remij_ Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,683 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Another thing to keep in mind Twinblade is that you're going to need another Windows 10 license key. So obviously I recommend using a key reselling site like G2A or what have you to buy one for like $15-20... don't spend $100 on a Win 10 key lol. I just bought a Windows 10 Pro key for $30CAD and I'm sure in America you can find them far cheaper.. probably even $5 or $10 for Win 10 Home.

Twinblade★ 3,930 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Ok, im completely out of the loop when it comes to liquid based CPU coolers. Theres multiple sizes im not sure which would be compatible with Ryzen 7 and the x570 mobos. Link to post Share on other sites

Im pretty sure I can build my current W10 license to a USB, and then image my new PC with it. As long as I wipe my current one and keep it offline, the transferred license will be legit.
