ksham :

I checked on pcpartpicker.com and according to it i just need 316W.

Don't you think 550W is more than enough?

Any Corsair or Seasonic 600W should work fine, definitely buy a good PSU, if you buy a bad brand of PSU, it will be prone to die and it may take your motherboard with it.
So look out for a Corsair or a Seasonic, even if you get more wattage than you need, atleast then you will be free to upgrade parts in the future.
Oh and watch out for those estimation sites, some can be quite inaccurate.
Good luck.

PCPartPicker isn't always accurate in that.

The XFX 550W is a very good quality PSU for a very good price. Almost a steal compared to others.

First of all, I don't wanna upgrade my PC until Intel Bring Carbon Nanotubes processors.
Is Corsair VS 550 is good choice?

seasonic x 650. Im sure its overkill but its gold rated and like 119 on newegg. Hands down probably the best deal you will find.

yogesh_gamer · Jun 19, 2013

sorry. I live in India so i have limited choice. Corsair, gamemax and blue star.
And Corsair is best among them. And y 650? isnt 550 enough?

firemedictj · Jun 19, 2013

i believe the X650 is the smallest that seasonic makes in the X series. (highly rated) If you dont have access to it then I would go with corsair as that is about the only reputable company i have even heard of. 550w probably is enough to power what you want but remeber that its cheaper to buy another gfx card in the future to get better graphics than it is to upgrade the whole system. My guess is that 2 or 3 660ti's will more than max out a 550w PSU and then you are right back here again only looking for a PSU that you could have already purchased for a few dollars more... it all depends on if you are looking for an upgrade path or not ......just my 2 cents.

yogesh_gamer · Jun 19, 2013

no.. i am not gonna upgrade my pc. instead after few years i will buy new one (if i will keep playing games after getting job

)
so its final corsair VS 550 is good for my build

firemedictj · Jun 19, 2013

i personally still would gimp myself buy buying a small PSU now as most likely if you get a good one now it will work with any of the future MoBos and GFX cards etc and then its one less thing you have to buy, but having been broke before i understand the conundrum.
