Wattage for Intel Core i9-9900K PSU?

I'm building a PC and need some advice on the power supply wattage for an Intel Core i9-9900K CPU. Any recommendations?

Hey, you should check out this TechReviewer article about choosing the best PSU for the 9900K. It's really helpful! Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i9-9900K CPU

Yeah, I read that article too. It says you need at least an 850-watt power supply for top-tier components and a 550-watt one for mid-tier components. That should be enough for the i9-9900K.

Oh, that's good to know! Thanks for sharing that link @Jappleseed1985 and your input @hardinMI. So, I'm going to build a top-tier PC, so I guess an 850-watt PSU would be suitable for me?

I just want to add that you should also consider the efficiency rating of the power supply. Higher efficiency can save you money on electricity in the long run.

That's true @kajsaunicorn. The TechReviewer article mentioned 80 PLUS certifications as a way to gauge efficiency. It's definitely worth looking into when choosing a PSU.

Thanks for all the advice, guys! I'm starting to get a better idea of what power supply wattage I need for my Intel Core i9-9900K CPU build.

No problem @wintericeboy, happy building!

Same here, good luck with your PC build, @wintericeboy!
