10 years? Multiple vendors have 1600w PSUs on market right now.
What's more, you'll need an AC to play pc games. My home office room is ~6m2, and even the current 500w machine I have there can noticeably bump the temperatures under load.
- scarygliders 2y agoThat could be a very good thing, depending on which part of the planet you live. For example, I'm in Scotland, and apart from one or two days, we've basically had a "year without a summer", with cooler than normal temps. ;)

- theandrewbailey 2y ago(USA) I guess I better call an electrician to install one of those huge 240v stove/clothes dryer outlets in my PC room so I can run a bigger PSU for my dual 5090s. \s
- dzhiurgis 2y agoWhy do you need 1600W PSU for 600W card?
- rajnathani 2y agoThe PSU also powers the motherboard (keep in mind all those power hungry USB-C PD peripherals), CPU, cooling (fans and AIO liquid cooling pumps), storage, and RAM. Furthermore, when building a PC one would keep some buffer of a few hundred watts in the event that one would want to down-the-road add another GPU (or two (particularly for ML work)) to spare PCIe slots of the motherboard, or simply future-proof the PC for future more-power-hungry GPUs.
