Intel Core i7-10700F PSU Comparison?

I'm building a new computer and need some advice on the best power supply for an Intel Core i7-10700F CPU. Any suggestions?

I think you should go with a high-efficiency PSU to save on electricity bills in the long run.

There's a great article about choosing the best power supply for the Intel Core i7-10700F CPU at Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i7-10700F CPU. It covers everything from top-tier and mid-tier components, power consumption, efficiency certification levels, and even overclocking needs. I highly recommend checking it out!

Thanks, @DJredditer, I'll definitely take a look at that article! So, should I go with a 650 watt or 950 watt PSU for the i7-10700F?

Well, it depends on your components and future upgrades. If you plan to overclock or add more components later, a 950 watt PSU might be a safer bet.

In my experience, I'd also recommend adding a 100-150 watt buffer to account for any potential miscalculations or future additions. This can help prevent power supply overload and system instability.

That's good advice, @starwyvern. So, efficiency certifications like 80 PLUS Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum are important too?

Yes, absolutely! Higher efficiency ratings can lead to long-term savings on electricity bills and improved system performance. A higher-efficiency PSU may come at a higher upfront cost, but it's worth the investment in the long run.

Also, don't forget to consider the brand reputation and reliability when choosing your power supply. Some brands consistently deliver reliable performance, while others might not.

Thanks for all the input, everyone! I'll check out the article @DJredditer mentioned and look into some top-tier and mid-tier PSUs based on your advice.
