Why did You buy a 1200W PSU?? :emoji_astonished: A 650W PSU would have been enough for your rig. If you wanna keep some head room you could have bought a 750W. Thats more than enough.

may he got some great deal or may use multi gpu setup in future with loads of HDDs :D

BTW, since OP is into getting only the best suggesting him to get APC 1500 VA 1200-Watt SineWave Home inverter - this one can run in UPS mode too..

i picked up that PSU for it too last atleast my next 2 build as it has 10 years warranty, also who know what will have happen in next 10 years. so for future proofing i added it to my rig
