I’m building my own PC for the first time and I’ve heard that you’re supposed to go for a higher wattage than your parts need, especially if you want to upgrade in the future. Using a PSU calculator it says my build should use about 600W, do I go for an 850W PSU then or 1000W? I’ve also been told that getting a 1000W PSU is a waste and that it won’t be needed, even if I do upgrade my build later. Help!
