If you missed my other thread - I haven’t been a gamer since the late 1970s so I don’t know anything about this stuff.
I’m going to buy an Alienware Aurora R16 next week. The only PSU options seem to be 500W or 1000W. The PSU is proprietary. I’m going to buy my PC from one of the following…
-
New from dell.com. Both PSU options are available.
-
Refurbished from Amazon Renewed. There are no power supply details. That’s even true if I use plain old amazon.com and look at new models.
-
Refurbished from outlet.us.dell.com. Both PSU options are available.
Amazon Renewed might be cheaper but it annoys me they won’t give the info. Even if 500W is fine for me - I’ll like to have that “in writing” before I buy anything.
I’m going a PC at least this powerful…
-
Processor: Intel Core i7 14700F (61 MB cache, 20 cores, up to 5.4 GHz Turbo)
-
Videocard: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB GDDR6X
-
Memory: 32 GB: 2 x 16 GB, DDR5, 5600 MT/s
-
Harddrive: 2 TB, M.2, PCIe NVMe, SSD
I don’t know if I’ll ever upgrade. Is 500W good enough?
100%
Always worth getting something gold rated with plently of wattage in case shit.
