    I am trying to figure out if i will have enough PCIe slots on my PSU. I am planning on buying an PSU with 4 PCIe slots. I also want an rtx4070ti wich takes up 3 PCIe slots if i am correct. Will there be enough for the cpu to connect to? The videocard is the asus ProArt rtx4070ti The power supply will be Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

    There is a thing called sweet spot for the the maximal load percentage that it performs best in terms of noise & efficiency. When you are able to get that number, you save money in relation to buying what you exactly need and energy consumption savings.
