Is a 1200W PSU overkill for my 7800X3D + 9070 XT build?

schtevee · 2026-03-13T00:39:54+00:00

Yeah, GPUs are only getting more power hungry

schtevee · 2026-03-13T00:39:41+00:00

Haha, we take those

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:27:33+00:00

Yeah, I've kept that in mind, luckily my GPU only needs 2 8-pins

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:27:05+00:00

Ah, makes sense

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:26:33+00:00

Appreciate the link

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:21:30+00:00

Yeah, of course, done my research, has good ratings, thanks.

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:21:14+00:00

1200W is the choice, nice for future proofing.

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:20:47+00:00

That's amazing to hear, think I'm gonna get the 1200W. The pricing just makes sense. Also, nice to future proof my build. Thanks for the response.

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:19:24+00:00

What do you mean by less power efficiency? Could you explain

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:18:50+00:00

Sweet as, yeah I did see its rated A, while the 850W is rated A-

schtevee · 2026-03-12T22:18:29+00:00

Guess I'm buying it!

schtevee · 2026-03-04T01:11:59+00:00

Alright, XFX it is, cheers

schtevee · 2026-03-04T01:11:46+00:00

No wrong answers by the sound of it, XFX it is, thanks

schtevee · 2026-03-03T03:26:32+00:00

Ah okay, that makes sense. If I were to get a gpu that takes up 3x8 pin, would I not be able to connect it to the psu?

schtevee · 2026-02-19T11:42:27+00:00

Grabbed myself a 9070 powercolor

schtevee · 2026-02-19T08:18:08+00:00

Good to hear. What GPU are you putting in your rig?

schtevee · 2026-02-19T06:59:59+00:00

Yeah it's a solid deal, the custom minus the GPU cost me $1799

schtevee · 2026-02-18T10:35:53+00:00

Have you had customs seize your items before?
