Should I change to PSU to 850 instead of 750?
Thanks.
Should be fine with a 750 I'd think. with 3080 fine for sure, 3090 still a comfortable cushion of headroom.
Its a 65w CPU, if it was one of the 105 ones I'd say you'd be pushing it with a 3090.
But a 65w CPU and a pretty low level of any wattage 'bling' parts (RGB everything!), and don't have tons of mechanical drives, you are fine.

No way I am going for more than 3080, I might even skip it up and go for updated version of 3070 that will most likely be in the next few months, but it depends what will happen in the next few months, price wise.
I've been told some of the 3080 cards needs 850w but they probably also the more advance ones and expensive ones.
To prevent another topic creation, i'm recovering this one...
My actual tower and still kicking Thermaltake Core V71 (Specs in my signature) had some small changes a year ago in the sense of airflow:
-Changed the default 1000RPM 140mm 16db back fan to a BeQuiet! SILENT WINGS 3 1600RPM PWM and sounds pretty low at that speed i guess (28dba), like a tiny turbine and when i put the hand behind the tower i can feel the speed of air exhaustion well, do it's right work (Better than the original). A vid of how it actually sounds is here
-Added another identical BLUE LED 200mm fan at the top for better exhaust, though the oriignal 200mm top fan started to weaken out both in light and performance a bit than the newer one (Both are 800RPM 15dba)
However i thought that maybe i should upgrade the top fans to another 2 140mm BeQuiet! fans like the one above so that the case's heat would get out faster and not complicate the tower's components lifespan (When playing DOOM ETERNAL or encoding in Handbrake it goes up to close to 87C around on a RYZEN 3800x with a Noctua NH-US12 Chromax cooler. Don't remember about the GPU)
Specially with how these summer heats have been for late...
The question is, would the changes be worth it or should i leave it as it is now?.Or should i use another size/speed for the fans that'd do a better work with more or less sound?

On another note, if you've seen the vid above, you might've seen that the tower's pretty dark even though the blueness of the 200mm fans' LEDs barely covers much of it.
I'm looking to install one of those RGB LED strips that covers the bottom, left (Rear) and top sides of the tower (If it can fit the hole between the HDD vertical support part of the rig and the bottom part of it while aiming up the better). One that you could save color settings onto their memory (HUB with onboard memory?) and then uninstall the software so it doesn't consumes PC resources and always stays in 1 profile (All Sonic blue in my case), but it has to be a LED strip that doesn't uses an "AC Wall Plug". Don't mind the USB ports from the MoBo
I've been hearing good things from a CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO because it uses metal magnets (but also have the 3M adhesive part), but maybe there are other similar or better alternatives that fits my criteria?
Thanks in advance!

I might look into upgrading early next year and I know i'm going AMD way, but I have a question regarding the GPUs, is there any option for 1440p/60fps with AMD or i should better stay with nvidia?
@Danyutz
Sure, even a 6700xt can do 1440p/60.
I got a 6800xt and do ultrawide 3440x1440/120hz fine. It even drives my VR at 4896x2448/120 well for all games but ones like MSFS over cities (which is a beast for any card to do), and sim racing if I turn EVERYTHING on ridiculous settings and 32 AI cars.
If you are waiting, the 7000 series would do 1440p/60 without breaking a sweat.
I'm thinking of a 7800x3d CPU (if released) and a 7800xt GPU start of next year.
So far for NVidia vs AMD, unless you are doing dual 4k at 120/144 ultra settings and want the 'king of the hill' card of a 3090ti/4090, either team has great options.

1080p @ high FPS?
Don't disregard the CPU in that case, it will be your system's choke point for the framerate.
Unless prices are much higher now, 1000+ USD should be enough and also, a 650 watts PSU should be just fine.
I am finally considering getting a new PC, after almost 10 years. I don't play games that often any more, but when I do, I want them to run stable at 1080p@60Hz (that's what my current display supports, and I do not intend to replace it yet) on max. settings. Other that that, the only power-hungry app I use is Lightroom. I will go to 1440p@120Hz in the future when the current monitor goes tits up.
I have two candidate configurations; my question is whether the +EUR 250 extra is worth it in case of the second rig:
(Should I also need a CPU cooler, or will the stock suffice?)
2)
Gigabyte B450 AORUS Elite V2
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
Be quiet! Pure Rock 2 cooler
Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB 3000MHz DDR4
Asus Dual RTX 3060 12GB
1TB WD Blue m.2
Seasonic Focus GX 750W
AeroCool Aero One Eclipse case
Additional requirements: I want the PC to run cool and silent. The above are pre-built rigs, but any component can be swapped out for a myriad of others to end up with a custom PC. I oculd not care less about brands, but I want to avoid any that are problematic or, simply, shite. The only given is the GPU; the rest are flexible to some extent, but the above are roughly the min-max range for me.
Why not go for a 4060 8gb instead? for 1080p the extra vram isn't going to matter, and for 1440p the 3060 isn't going to do modern games at max anyway. 4060 performs slightly better at both resolutions and that's before considering the better version of dlss and frame generation. Yeah, the 4060 is a shit product to buy if you already have a 3060 since the jump is minimal, but if you're coming from a 10 year old jump, then it's an easy choice, as the price is similar.
Other then that... you're going to be gpu-bound in most games, so I doubt you'll notice a big difference between the 2 cpu's, unless you need a better one for productivity I wouldn't bother, and if you really just want something better get the 5800x3d, but that's way more expensive and you won't see a huge bump in games anyway cause of the gpu.
I would go for 32gb of ram either way, even though 16 is enough for games, if you're browsing a lot and with windows, it's nice to have the extra ram and it doesn't cost that much.
the 4060 is a shit product to buy if you already have a 3060 since the jump is minimal
and the 4060 costs EUR 200+ more. As a matter of fact, I would be absolutely fine with a 2070 if those were still sold, and at a decent price (NOT second-hand ones, though).

The X3D is about an extra EUR 100. I simply don't feel like spending that much on a new PC. Hitting the EUR 1,000 mark is something I'm OK with, but not more.
Yeah, 32 gigs of RAM is pretty much decided, it is a miniscule difference in price.
I was more interested in whether certain manufacturers (of PSUs, SSDs and RAM, for example) should be avoided. Or whether some are unreasonably overpriced. I've been out of the loop for a long time, I don't remember which makes are trustworthy these days.
Also, how's the cooling on the R5/R7 CPUs? Are stock coolers sufficient?
Whatever you do, get that Seasonic PSU and put that Chieftec shit in the bin
Cheers. Like I said, any component could be switched out for anything else in any rig. I would also like a modular PSU, as I find it easier and neater to manage the cables.
