I'm building a new mid-rang gaming rig and I still don't know what PSU wattage to get. For sure I'm getting Corsair CX, however I don't know if I should get a 500w or more. Please help me since I don't really know a lot about PSU's.

Thanks in advance.

If you're not planning on SLI, a 500w PSU would be sufficient! The GTX 760 is not much of a power hog, so you should be fine. Although if you do plan on upgrading this rig in the future, you might consider a 600watt. It would be overkill with your current set up, but it would give you some breathing room if you decided to get a more powerful GPU in the future.

yes, definitely not planning on SLI, and obviously no OC.
