Hi, im builidng a back up system and wandering if a 430watt Thermaltake PSU would handle it.

The specs are:
Asus P5QL Pro
1 gig ram
8600gt
E7300 and stock heatsink

I'm thinking of going for the 500w Coolermaster PSU but i think its kinda overkill but then it does the job and is future proof? should i save some money and get that?
Any answers will be greatly appreaciated!
 
430watts would be more than enough for that system. If you wanted you could get a slightly bigger PSU, but it all really depends on if you're going to be upgrading it, or overclocking it?
 
Go ahead, get the 500W. Down the road, you will probably want to upgrade, right? Then you already have a better PSU.
