I run a 5600X.

I think 850W should be fine. I only went with 1000W because the PSU I wanted didn’t come in an 850W variant (or the price difference was negligible).

When my card is volted normally I’ve seen the nvidia panel list 1.1 volt with 420W draw. I’m don’t know much about power draw so I’m not sure if that helps.

Edit: I went with 1000W because I wanted the 80% utilization to fall within the area where the fans would spin very slowly to limit noise.
