Whether youre planning on building a new gaming PC and need to pick the right power supply for it, or youre upgrading your GPU and you want to make sure itll actually work with your current PSU, this video is for you. Picking the right wattage is incredibly important, as you can easily run into overcurrent protections, or worse on cheaper power supplies, you can start to have degraded power which can damage literally every component in your system. So, why is it so hard to get the right wattage? Well, custom computers are complicated. Two systems can need completely different power supplies - one with an i9 and a 4090 would need a considerably higher wattage than an i5 and 4060. In recent years weve also discovered a new problem, which is that when a graphics card fully switches on to start rendering a game, it often draws an incredibly high amount of current - known as a current spike - which, if your power supply isnt suitably oversized, can trip the overcurrent protections and just shut your system off in an instant.
