I built my partner a computer, gave them my 650w PSU, and upgraded my machine to a 1000w platinum PSU for absolutely no reason other than it was a good deal. I think that’ll prolly handle it!
I always buy a 1000w PSU even when I don’t need one, because PSUs operate better when they’re not maxed out, and because idk what the future may bring.
A wildly overpowered PSU will also use more power at low loads, as that’s outside the efficiency range. The ratings (like gold or platinum) also usually don’t apply, as loads like that are not part of the certification process.
This may be irrelevant to you of course, depending on your electricity prices.
Surely my 750W PSU and i5-14600K will be enough…
