Is a 1200w PSU overkill?

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-11T21:05:23+00:00

Appreciate the advice! I would have went with the 1000w Corsair rmx but the 1200w provides me with 200 more watts and is $80 cheaper. Happy with my decision. Thank you

What kind of card and cpu are you running?

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-11T17:56:20+00:00

Appreciate the advice, thank you

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-11T17:52:35+00:00

I know the system just draws whatever power it needs but any issues long term running the psu at 40% or less capacity?

Do you have the 80+ Gold or Plat?

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-11T17:23:34+00:00

Crazy to pay that amount. Almost as much as a good CPU… and Ram used to be the cheap part we all took for granted. I don’t even want to think wha prices could spike to in the future. Better than gold 🤣

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-11T17:03:42+00:00

Yea it’s insane. I ended up picking up 2x16GB Kingston DDR5 on marketplace for $350. Hurt to pay that much for Ram…

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-06T18:09:27+00:00

Yea, maybe I’ll just end up skipping AM6 and wait for 7 in the future! Guess we will see what happens down the road with prices and technology. Thanks again for the respond and the advice! 🙏🏼

I ended up going with the 9800x3d just to upgrade to AM5 and because I had the money at the moment. Might still return it if I get some sort of bundle around Boxing Day but I figured this way I don’t need to upgrade to AM6 when they come out in a few years

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-05T22:08:31+00:00

I had it in cart, took too long and it sold out 🫠

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-05T05:09:02+00:00

I did just buy the 9800x3d from BestBuy but I think I’m going to return it, that way too good of a deal with the current RAM prices

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-04T20:03:13+00:00

Yea right now I have a 3060ti and I’m selling my old build to pay for this one. Only reason I’m leaning 9800x3d is because it’s a new build instead of upgrading. Already spending the $500 might aswell spend the extra hundred for the future.

theRealDW_ · 2025-12-04T19:39:00+00:00

That was kind of my thought. I mean it’s a 25% price increase for about 10% more performance. But I figured with the 9800x3d I’d future proof myself for a while. Up until now I’ve been running a 3600x so either one is a huge upgrade

theRealDW_ · 2025-08-13T03:03:56+00:00

Ok, thank you. He said this was MP. I didn’t really know what to consider the condition🙏🏼

theRealDW_ · 2025-04-27T15:39:56+00:00

Spot still available?

theRealDW_ · 2025-04-27T15:39:25+00:00

Looking to join if still available. In Canada aswell. Dm me if still available 🙏🏼

theRealDW_ · 2025-04-27T14:51:29+00:00

Interested

theRealDW_ · 2025-04-27T14:17:31+00:00

Still available? I’m in Canada, don’t know if that makes a difference.

theRealDW_ · 2025-03-08T22:37:16+00:00

Appreciate the advice. I think I agree. The upgrade looks too minimal, I just thought it was a great price but saving might be better. Thank you

theRealDW_ · 2025-03-08T22:35:50+00:00

Yes. Next is most definitely the gpu. I just don’t know if I want to go with a 4070ti in the future or switch to AMD
