Im getting a gtx 1080 32 GB of DDR4 ram and intel i7 with liquid cooling but im not shure what power supply i would need. But im also going to install more ram and 1 or 2 1080's or overtime.
If you want help here from the hardware experts, you need to provide more information about your computer besides it having a GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM.
What's the complete description of the Intel Core i7 processor?
What's the brand name and model number and revision number of the motherboard?
Used this calculator , http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
Threw in some numbers, Recommended at minimum a EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ GOLD, 850W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 220-G2-0850-XR
Some manufacturers build different ranges of units. Some are intended for basic office style computers and others for high end performance PC's.
Unfortunately they make the lower quality ranges in high wattage rated units. Whilst these may list as 500+W. They are not suitable for the continuous strain put on them by a performance system.
As a general rule, Look for at least a 5 year manufacturer's warranty. If the manufacturer will put a long warranty on the unit as standard you know it's a better quality.
I recommend seasonic, corsair (not the cx line), Evga supernova line.
