dont buy corsair powersupplies they dont last long. evga is a good one get . gold if you can

I would go with the Be Quiet! unit.

And I would personally go with a 1200W unit for a little more headroom.

I have a 9800X3D + 5090, I can pull 800W but that's basically under CPU/GPU stress test sort of thing, tends to use between 600/700W when gaming, if it's older games might not even pull 500W.

So you are ok with a decent 1K PSU but I went with a 1200W, keeps it in the 50 to 60% load ballpark.

With that budget, just go with a 1600w so it sits nicely at 50% load, silent and cool.

Though, if you don't need the 9950x3d for a tual work and the system is just for gaming, get a 9800x3d instead, it's a better gaming cpu and don't forget some nice low lattency cl26 or cl28 6000 to 6400MHz memory to get the most out of the platform.

i have topics before about 9950 and 98003xd. It ends in endless of pages of discussion whichon is better ontop of that it also spirals into bewtween AMD-Intal fanboy war.
I made a decision. keep the topic on power suply.

If a 1000 watt is enough what benefit does extra wat have. What benefit does a "60%" load have compared to a 50%....

A 1000w is very close to the limit under a full load and offers no. Space should you wish to upgrade in the future, as a good psu can go between a bunch of upgrades and lasts for years, it is worth spending the extra, it will remain cooler, the fannwont need to run, so it's quieter and it's more efficient.

Regarding keeping on topic, this is a public forum so I'll say what ever I please.

If it's for gaming only, a 9950x3d is a pointless waste of money and both a 9800x3d and a 14900k offer a better overall experience.

You seem to be shopping by most expensive, why chose to cut corners on the most long lasting and important component, especially when you are shopping for a very high end build, if you need to save money and cut corners on a the psu, you cannot afford the build and shoud not be buying it in the first place.

But, do what ever you want, it's your money to waste as you see fit and if you didn't want any advice you shouldn't of asked for help as you clearly know better.

Good luck with your little pc.

Why are you so salty? (well you sound like it, hard to tell through text)
Were did i say i know better? I simply ask the question....? and thank you for answering.

Regarding keeping on topic, No you don't say what you please. Steam Guidelines & rules clearly state: "avoid off-topic content" like "Derailing a discussion or topic"

Becaus question always lead to a AMD vs Intel kinda discussion. That heard 1000 time by now.

Thats why i made a topic specifically about Power Suply. Thats my question.
Thats why i politely ask to stay on this topic. I didn't mean any offence. If you don't want to, so be it.

Also were do i say i don't want any advice? I clearly asked, i think. I am not cutting corners i merely asked whats the benefit of more watt. And you answered that very nicely. thank you.

It is the Hardware and Operating forum.. So people are going to give you their tech tips.

Again, it is a public forum.

cyclic loading.

exceeding 50% of the rated capacity of the psu causes more stresses and thermals to the components inside the unit. they're all using basically the same technology, the difference is in the quality of the components. cheap components = bad.

a higher capacitance, bronze / silver / gold or higher rated supply means your power supply is going to last a lot longer. meaning you need to buy less of them. meaning it saves money. (you dont throw this out when you build a new pc, you use it in the new pc.)

and it feeds clean power to your unit, meaning it damages your other components less.

if the cpu is the brain, the power supply is the heart.

make sure it has a strong heart.

Not salty, just bored of people buying by price who will inevitably come back to complain about an issue, while this may be your first time asking this sort of question, regulars here have seen and answered similar dozens to hundreds of times over the decades by this point, no offence intended.

Also, please do note I didn't suggest buying Intel, despite owning a 14900ks myself, as a 9800x3d suits most people (like 99%) far better and is the best gaming chip, given you need to disable half a 9950x3d to get it to work as well, you can see why it's a bit pointless if all you plan to do is game and no professional work, you will end up paying more, get more issues and a worse overall experience, so, I thought it was worth venturing slightly off topic.

Either way, dont skimp on the psu, but no need to go crazy with titanium units either, but, the way hardware is going, until we can get off of silicon, power usage will only increase and needing a new psu next gen when you upgrade (like a lot of top tier buyers do) because you decided to save a few bucks now will only cost you more in the long run.

Regarding my sign off, if you check my profile, you'll see that most people's pc's are little compared to the insane size of my phantek enthoo elite case :)

Good luck with the build which ever way you decide to go.

copy

With that setup get a good 1200 or 1600 watt

Would not run RTX 5090 with less then 1200W PSU.

There are a ton of pre-builds with 5090's that ship with 1000W PSU's, fine just not optimal.
