What sized PEX water line do I use to make an external water for a single garden hose?

I want to connect an external pex water line from my 3/4" hose bib all the way around my home to a seperate spigot. I calculate I would need 77 ft. and 4 elbow joints. My water comes out at 60 psi and I would only be using one hose at a time. If I used 1/2" pex, how much would my water pressure decrease? Should I just buy the 3/4" size even though I would only use the hose for watering a small garden and washing my car? TIA submitted by /u/tHINk-1985 [link] [comments]
