G'day everyone! Im coming up to the last few legs of finishing off my gaming PC, and I feel like I'm coming along a lot of misinformation.
I want to get a PSU that's efficient, and will last me for a few up grades, but now that I'm more environmentally minded than I used to be, I want to be more discerning.
Im wondering, if I go for a 650w psu or a 900w, will they both draw the same amount of power to run a system that isnt reaching their capacity?
Should I buy psu's after finalizing a gpu/cpu?
I was leaning towards a 620w 80plus for a i5 4460, gtx 970 build, but if its smarter to go for less to save a dolphin, I'd rather do that.
Also, do those bronze 80 and blah blah things mean much? After much googling, I saw a Shaw 650 was actually 300w or something.
Thanks everyone in advance. You're all really awesome.
