Best PSU for GTX 1080 Build?

I'm building a new PC and need help choosing the best power supply unit (PSU) for my GTX 1080 GPU. Any recommendations?

Well, @CatsAreLife, for top-tier components, you might want to consider the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply. The article Choosing the Best PSU for Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080 GPU discusses how it's a great choice for high-end builds. What do you think?

Thanks for the suggestion, @Hammeh87. I'm not sure if my build will be top-tier though. Can I get by with something less powerful?

Hey, @CatsAreLife, you might want to look at the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1) for mid-tier components. It's a reliable option that should work well with your GTX 1080.

Yeah, I think both options are good, but you should also consider factors like power output, efficiency rating, connectors, cable lengths, and protective features to ensure compatibility with your system and its components.

That's true, @Hammeh87. Also, make sure to add a 100-150 W buffer to your expected usage for extra flexibility in case of miscalculations. Overclocking could require an extra 50-100 W, depending on how much you overclock these devices.

Good points, everyone. I'll check out the options and consider all these factors. Thanks a lot!
