I would say that 447w number provided would be about peak consumption of the system for sustained gaming. GPU ~300, CPU ~100, the rest ~50.

My gut feel is that I would say a minimum of a quality 650w (fine if you already have it), with a 750w being what I would recommend (if buying).

that is what I was thinking also , I already am using a new 850 but its a Roswell I bought on sale a while back it seems to be solid but .. its a Roswell cgm850 and I have read they are hit am miss, I have been debating getting a quality one because the other day my second m.2 drive didt show up ,I had to reboot but also the time in windows was hours earlier at first I didnt think anything of it, it corrected itself but then yesterday when I booted up I looked at the time it was correct I started playing HP and I alt tabbed out , the time was again a few hours behind then later on which this could be a coincidence or the game it self the game froze and I had to crtl alt del sign out and back in this made me wonder if the PSU isn't quite up to par
