Should i buy a 1500 watt psu to prepare for SSD and graphics card upgrade?

[SHREDDER]

My monster pc now isCPU: RYZEN 7 1700
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 GS KILL RIP JAWS
GPU: GTX 970 G1 GAMING
MONITOR: DELLP2416D 24'' 2560X1440 60 HZ IPS
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS PRIME X370 PRO
HDD1: WD BLACK 4 TB
HDD2: 1 TB
PSU: CORSAIR 750M 750 WATT
Soon i will get a MP 600 2 TB which is currently the best ssd avaliable and also a high end graphics card(something a lot more powerful than RTX 2080 TI). Rest of the system will remain as it is. I will buy both at the same time. But to be sure that pc will work ok as it does now will i need to also get a better psu or this will be enough?

half that would be fine

1500 watts is a bit over kill IMO. You should just do fine with a 850.

The PSU you have is fine. 1500W would just be a stupid waste of money.

[xSOSxHawkens]

Few people outside of Vega owners have any need for anything beyond 850w...

Even Vega owners dont need more than about 1K unless they plan to crossfire them with a high end CPU...

Unless ampere needs AMPS out the wazoo to run, or RDNA2 is a furnace, I dont think there will be any reason to need a 1Kw or greater PSU in the near future for most single GPU uses.

1500w is about right for 4way sli with 970s

i use 1000W

with TITAN RTX, SSD, i9-10900X 32GB RAM....
You never need more than 1000W with single GPU and regular workstation CPUs right now.

That setup with multiple drives wouldn't even use more than ~700 W at peak power usage.
A system with a 9900K and 2080 Ti doesn't need more than a quality 650W as well, so 1000W is still way overkill, even for a system with a Radeon VII.

my point was 1500W is mega-super-overkill. I already know I'm way over normality(850W), it's more of a futureproof thing for when I upgrade other parts.

I agree with what everyone above says,

But the one thing i will say, is that quality of PSU is much more important than power in most cases.

I think i have the same PSU as you have, and its plenty for what i have, (i7 7800k, 16G RAM, GTX1070, Ryujin cooler, ROG gaming MOBO, and various other hardware including a VIVE, 3 screens and most of my USBs are full, )

But i had a low end 850w PSU before, and it was problematic, as it simply wasn;t a steady power stream, which cause some really bizarre things to happen.

you need 80+ certified, that and it's more efficient to have a bit of overhead, like 35% more than what you need? I remember hearing something like that from LTT a long time ago.

80+ certification levels are not an indication of quality, only that they meet a certain power efficiency standard. There are plenty of crap 80+ gold PSUs, and some of them are actually fake/not true 80+ gold.

An example is Corsair CV; it's literally VS that was capable of meeting the 80+ bronze standard. Another example is 90+% of Thermaltake's PSU stack, because they're all pretty crap in comparison to better reputed brands and models.

I have
R7 1700
32gigs 3200mhz
5700XT
5 case fans
2 rgb led strips
Nzxt controller
1tb hdd
1tb sata iii ssd
512gb nvme
128gb ssd
Led keyboard and rgb mouse
And 650w PSU
If the readings of psu are correct (its Nzxt E650) i never pulled more than 300W total. 1500W would be total waste of money

Max load that'd be closer to 400~450W total system power draw

... "also a high end graphics card(something a lot more powerful than RTX 2080 TI)."

What's that gonna be? 2 of 'em?
