Hey, I just finished a run-through of a high‑end PSU for a gaming rig, and I’m curious how much power your setup actually pulls during a marathon match. Got any numbers or peak draw data to share?

750 W peak is getting close to the edge of most 650 W units, so I’d recommend stepping up to a 850 W or 1000 W PSU if you’re going to hit that. That gives you about 10–15 % headroom for voltage spikes and keeps the 80 Plus rating in good shape. Also, make sure the wattage is distributed evenly across the rails—no more than 50 % on the 12 V rail during load. If you can, name that extra battery pack “Curie” or “Tesla” and stick it in a separate enclosure; it keeps the layout tidy and gives you a neat reference point when you check the readings.

Great choice—1000 W gives you a solid safety margin. Just double‑check the phase balance, keep the cables neatly crimped, and label that spare rail “Einstein” so you can pull it out fast if you need to. Good luck, and stay in the groove.
