This will be the first time that I will be building a PC, and I've designed a build:
CPU - i5 3570k
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
GPU - Gigabyte Geforce GTX 650 Ti 2GB
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) LP
TP-Link TL-WN781ND 150Mbps Wireless PCI Express Card
Zalam Z11 Mid Tower Case(it has 5 fans included)
1TB 7200rpm Hard Drive
Enermax ETS-T40-TB Silence CPU Cooler
I'm not planning in the future on a multi-gpu set up (motherboard does not support SLI anyway)
I tried using online PSU wattage calculators, but read on many forums that they are mostly inaccurate. One told me my build was 650W and another told me 530W. I was planning to get the Fractal Design Integra R2 650W, after reading good reviews, and seeing the low price tag. I would like a power supply with some headroom, so I can upgrade the GPU when I need to, and I plan on overclocking the i5 to 4-4.5GHz, but could you give me a better estimate of the wattage of this build, and recommend a better PSU? The maximum I would be willing to spend on a PSU would be around £70/$110. (also I did not just immediately search on amazon, I searched around, but found that including post and packaging, it was best for price). Comments also regarding the rest of the build would help, but are not necessary.
