I just got my ASUS STRIX Z-790-H. I am in the prosses of building my new gamming PC. Got a way to go through until I have all the parts. Does anyone else have this board?

I get it. We're all on a budget. But do you have plans for X CPU or Y RAM or Z GPU?I have to do it month by month because I live on SSI-D.
I was thinking along the same line as you on the PSU, but then I thought about his pair of 1080 ti's and assumed they are both in one rig. From a folding with 2 cards perspective I decided to leave the 1kw PSU alone, as he might add one of his 1080 ti's or another 4070 ti down the road. Do you think a Gold 850w can handle a pair of 4070 ti's folding?1KW PSU is massive overkill. For what you have listed, a 650W would do fine. That said, I suggest getting something in the 750W-850W range to save some cash and get you closer to running in the sweet spot of the PSU. I run a 13900K and 4090 with 850W.
Like I said above, I run a 13900K and a 4090 on a 850W PSU. FTR, I ran it on a 750W PSU for a couple of months without issue (or loud operation). There is plenty of headroom for the (meager?) power increases normally seen with 14th-gen.I know but I want to be on the safe side because later on down the line I am Shure I am going to go to 14th gen CPU and make my way to a 4090 gpu.
Yeah yeah.. do you! I only asked because different things may he available at the time and to keep an eye out. Maybe buy the cpu last (you may be able to get 14tg-gen out lf the gate).I would say 6 months. I know that's a long time, but I am doing the best I can.
