I am upgrading a HTPC and am concerned that 330W with a 1070ti won't be enough to power it. The calculators I have been using have been giving conflicting answers. Points of concern:
I am relatively new to building computers. This will be my second one. So feel free to explain things to me like I am 5. It is also my first post, so if I am posting in the wrong place or something, I am happy to correct it asap.
- Wall power unknown quality - I live in an apartment complex.
- 330W AC Adapter reliability - does it really provide 330W?
- Component wattage consumption - should I even try 330W with this setup?
