(PC Building )need help

However, the wattage that can be used for the power supply of a personal computer may decrease due to deterioration over time.
550w is also good.
But after three or five years, consider updating your power supply.👀

It supports it, but it might have bottlenecked it (meaning you won't 100% utilize your gpu) but testing it vs a i7700 i think that site is a bit whacked, i did some further research it should not even bottleneck it, and your cpu should be fine.

you can't get a absolute answer unless we know how much you are overclocking. It can vary imensely

600W Gold rated is probably ok...depends upon the brand. That's a sufficient rating in high-quality brands (Corsair, etc.), but NOT in some generic knock-off.

I personally haven't bought anything under 750W in over a decade. But I'm pretty snobby about PSUs. They're one of the best investments, because if you buy a good one that is more than you need now, you can generally keep it for 2-4 builds.

Also, keep in mind that every component in your PC is hooked to the PSU. When a PSU fails, it tends to take other stuff with it. Never buy a $600 video card and hook it to a $75 PSU. You're just asking to destroy your expensive components.

Good PSUs are worth the investment 100% of the time.

It's 3 months not 3 years... Obviously if you have to wait for much longer, it doesn't make any sense especially with technology...
However, in this case the new cards are around the corner!
Price wise the 2k series will be much cheaper as well. He/she will throw extra money for nothing atm... unless it's an emergency.

I'm sorry, what? What 10-25% bottleneck are you talking about, and my CPU and video card as opposed to your CPU and video card? I'm guessing there's a translation issue and something was lost in translation, but I really don't know what you're talking about.

Also, I've run into a lot of people who "know a lot about X" that don't actually know nearly as much as they seem to think. If your friends are talking about some 10-25% bottleneck (again, what bottleneck?), I wouldn't be surprised if they fall into that group of people who like to say that they know a lot more than they actually do.

In any case, with a 550 Gold PSU I would not be concerned about the PSU - the 2070 Super has a maximum power draw of 215 W, so unless you have a lot of hard drives in your PC it will likely be fine.

As a counter-argument, I would say that your 6700K is not holding you back. Games have been, and continue to be, GPU bound, and your i7 6700K is powerful enough to run any modern game if paired with the right GPU. And should you run into a game that becomes CPU bound in the future - well, that's why you have a K model that you can easily overclock. I would not buy a new CPU anytime soon.

Ray Tracing currently has a huge performance hit for a minor visual gain - you need a 2080 to approach 60fps at 1080p with RTX on, but most people aren't spending $730+ on a GPU to game at 1080p, while those that are spending $730+ on a GPU are likely wanting to game at 1440p or 4K at which RTX isn't feasible.

It's the same issue as Tessellation when that first came out - great tech, but the hardware wasn't able to run it at an acceptable performance level, and it wasn't until years later that GPUs were powerful enough to get good performance with Tessellation enabled. I see Ray Tracing the same way - great tech, but it'll be a few years until GPUs are powerful enough to enable Ray Tracing at the price / performance level that people expect.

It also doesn't help that current RTX showcases - like Metro - seem to have spent all their efforts on the RTX code base and little effort on the non-RTX code base to accentuate the difference that RTX makes. Sure, the difference looks dramatic in Metro, but there are other non-RTX games with great lighting that illustrate that this is partly due to the Metro non-RTX lighting looking like crap as they spent all their efforts on making RTX look good and little effort on the standard lighting. If you put little effort into standard lighting of course RTX will look much better, but that doesn't mean that standard lighting can't get close to RTX without the huge performance hit.
