How much power supply is needed for this configuration? Also suggest me a PSU

vijayram643 · Sep 25, 2013

My future PC configuration is going to be
i5 3570k
Asrock z77 extreme 3 mobo
G skill ripjaws (2x4)8gb
Nvidia gtx 650ti 2gb
Western digital 1TB 7200rpm
Dvd drive
3 Led fans
Antec x1 cabinet
So how much power supply is needed for this configuration?
And also suggest me a good psu..

Thermal and Power Specs:
97 C - Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)
134 W - Maximum Graphics Card Power (W)
450 W - Minimum System Power Requirement (W)4
One 6-pin - Supplementary Power Connectors

So, 450 watts for system with 1 GPU.... add 134 watts if ya wanna be ready to add a 2nd GPU in the future. Id use a TX-650 or equivalent from Seasonic M series or XFX Core Edition.

Would strongly advise against getting last gen MoBo / CPU.

I don’t think there’s any compelling reason to move from an Ivy Bridge or even a Sandy Bridge based system to a Haswell system– there simply isn’t enough performance and feature differential to justify it. On the other hand, if you’re building a new rig from scratch, there’s little point in investing in end-of-life platforms, so going Haswell/Z87 makes sense.

Yes, IB OC's on average 6% better than HW but HW comes outta the gate 10+% faster for IB never quite catches up.

I won't add another gpu...so, Is a 500w psu good enough for this rig?
