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.
Yeah, electricity isn't much of a concern for me, plus I build pretty beefy systems, so I'm not overbuilding by too much. This last PC I built probably could have done with a 650w PSU, but I bought 1000w.
AMD Ryzen 9700x CPU
AMD RX 7900 GRE GPU
DDR5 6000 RAM
PCIe 5 m.2 HDD
It's a really great computer, but the AMD components don't require nearly as much power as Nvidia and Intel parts.
