Great points from both of you! Wattage is crucial for your GPU, but don't forget about other components like the CPU, motherboard, storage drives, fans, and more. You'll want to read up on that TechReviewer article Choosing the Best PSU for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU I mentioned earlier. It goes into detail about how much power each component typically consumes.

Hey, @sergejblade! When it comes to PSU selection, you'll want to consider wattage, efficiency ratings, connectors, modular cables, cable lengths, form factors, protective features, and cost-effectiveness. A good article on this topic is available at Choosing the Best PSU for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU.

Oh, absolutely! When I built my PC, I had to add a 100-150 W buffer for safety and flexibility. I also went with an efficient PSU because it saves money on electricity in the long run. Plus, having modular cables was really helpful in keeping things neat and organized inside the case.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience, @royalsouvenir. It sounds like efficiency is key, especially if you plan to have your system running for extended periods of time. I'm curious, @DomanoSV, what PSU did you end up choosing for your build?

For my RTX 4080 SUPER GPU build, I went with the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply. It has a good mix of wattage and efficiency, and I love the modular design for cable management.

That's a great choice! @DomanoSV. I think it's really important to do some research on different PSUs before making a decision. Remember to check reviews online and compare prices too. And don't forget to consider the form factor of your PSU – you want one that fits in your PC case without any issues.

Definitely! I had a bit of trouble with cable management when I first built my computer, but having a modular PSU made all the difference. It was much easier to keep everything tidy and organized.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I'll definitely keep these factors in mind as I search for the perfect PSU for my RTX 4080 SUPER GPU build.
