Hello, I've got a problem with calculating psu wattage for my new pc. I went onto psu calculators. One gave me 350 w, other was 400 w and one of them said 550 w.

My future system specs

Intel i5 3570
GTX 650 ti
2 x ddr 3 4gb (might expand to 4 sticks in future)
1 regular hdd (7200 rpm)
1 dvd rom
And ga z77 ds3H motherboard

I'm planning on getting a normal case, no leds. Just a fan and maybe two extra usb's.

Will 500 watt psu be sufficient? The calculators were not of much help but something tells me that it is about 500 watt. What would you reccomend? Any specific psu?

Thank you for help
 
I would get a quality 600/650W model to give you alittle overhead. Corsair/Antec/Seasonic/XFX/Silverstone/PC Power&Cooling.

Thank you, thats great. I acctually live in UK but the price difference is equally small. I'll probably go with at least 550 w to get some room for expansion.
 
You need a good quality one, so i would suggest posting up your intended purchase prior to buying it mate
