Hi all, I'm in the process of putting together a MacPro equivalent. I'll be running with the following :

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD7-TH
Core i7-4790K
EVGA GeForce GTX 760
Crucial Ballistix Tactical (32GB)
Samsung 850 EVO - 240Gb


I have all my data on a Pegasus R6 unit (hence the need for Thunderbolt on the MB) and as a result will only need to power a single 240Gb drive for OS & applications.

Can someone advise on the sort of power requirements for this setup and also advise on the potential benefits of spending more on a PSU. I'm considering a Corsair RM650 but a mate has just bought a Corsair AX1200i unit saying it should give him more future proofing. It's a lot more expensive - is this completely overkill or a wise investment. Thanks
 
There are many on-line PSU calculators to help you decide which one would suit your requirements.

As you are considering a Corsair PSU here is the Link to their on-line calculator.
 
Thanks for the link - very useful. Decided to head for middle ground & go for the HX850i which should allow for plenty of spare capacity going forward
