Hello,

I'm thinking about a new rig just can't decide which would be the best PSU for it.

I want to overclock it.

The parts:

MSI z87 g45
bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 2
Intel 4670k for cpu
GTX760 hawk for gpu
Kingston HyperX ssd
WD 2tb black hdd
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
CM storm scout 2 advanced or carbide series 500r or CM storm enforcer (This is an other question for me.)

I'm really looking forward to your answers.

Hi - purely your choice, but since a quality 500w unit is more than sufficient for that
system, I personally would look for a step up from budget level PSU such as the CX, and get
a 550w such as:

Thank you very much but 500W won't be too less?

Providing you get a good one, 500w should be good enough. But if you plan on oc'ing I'd recommend a 600w psu even more. Plus the price difference isn't that much, so it's easily worth it.
