    I posted a correction about the PSU rating, and the article was changed and my comment was deleted?  :/

    Couldn't you have just just fixed the article then replied to my comment saying "Hey, you're right, the article has been updated, thanks for pointing out the error?" Oh well. 

    BTW, the part where the PSU on the second build is said to maybe not be up to the task might not be correct either if that was based on the incorrect assumptions about the PSU on the first build.  ;)
    While I appreciate your correction, I can't speak to the deletion. No matter, though. The calculations were independent, no assumptions were made.

    All the parts in the second build. the DIY one, come up to 1100W when full-out. It seems bad to have a 1000W power supply there.

    The parts in the Lenovo build are at about 1200W, which is 91.6 percent of the power supply's capacity, oddly enough. So, with a 92 percent efficient power supply, that's cutting it awfully fine.
    I'm curious as to how you calculated the systems' power draws?

    Whenever I build PCs (I'm a Mac guy at heart but use Windows PCs for gaming) I use this site, which when I plug in the basics (CPU, GPU, RAM, storage) on the Lenovo system I get 320 watts: https://outervision.com/b/0teyKI

    The 2nd build, linked from the PC Gamer article to these specs on PCPartPicker, shows 533W at the top of the page: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LkDgcc

    Not trying to argue, just genuinely curious if there's something I'm missing.  :)
