Estimate the system

Use the selected CPU, GPU and other components to estimate a system’s power requirement. The result should be treated as planning input, not a measurement.

Check connectors and format

Verify the GPU power connectors, motherboard connectors, cable requirements and physical PSU fit for the case.

Leave sensible headroom

A qualified configuration process considers headroom and intended upgrades. Do not select a unit only by its headline wattage.
