Power Supply Wattage Calculator

it isn't good to go by either, that's the amount they will use yes, but the power on the psu is the peak so it is really much lower and the brand matters too and all, is best to tell us what you are getting and we will say.

but generally the newegg one is fine and you want a good quality psu labled for 50-100 more watts than the calculator says for overhead and overclocking room

You could easily get away with a 500-550w power supply of a good brand. But if you ever want to upgrade, it'd be good to have a little space to upgrade.
