I've built my PC with an i9-13900F CPU and it's been running great. I used a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply, which has served me well. There's a helpful article discussing this topic at Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i9-13900F CPU. You might find it useful.

Thanks for the advice! The power consumption of my other components is around 650-1000 watts. I was considering either the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1) or the Corsair SF series. Any thoughts on these?

Hey, I've used both those PSUs and they're great choices for mid-tier components like the ones you have. The 650-1000 watt range should be plenty for your build.

Yeah, and don't forget to check out the power supply's efficiency rating and certifications like 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum when making your decision. Higher efficiency ratings can save money on electricity bills in the long run.

Thanks again for the suggestions! I'm also looking at overclocking my CPU, so I'll need a PSU that can handle that as well. Do you have any recommendations based on that?

Hey there! Overclocking will increase your power consumption, so you might want to consider adding an extra 50-100 watts to your PSU's capacity for safety. That means you might need a slightly higher wattage PSU than you initially thought.

Good point! It's always better to have some buffer in case of any miscalculations or future component upgrades. I'd go with a power supply that has additional wattage headroom beyond your system's requirements for more reliable system stability.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice! Based on what you've shared, I think I'll go for a 750-1000 watt PSU like the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series or Corsair SF series. They seem to be good options for my i9-13900F CPU and other components.

Sounds like a solid choice! Just remember to check the efficiency rating, certifications, and connectors before making your purchase. Good luck with your build!

Will do! Thanks again for all the help.
