Hy,
I just have a damn hard finding a not too expensive quality PSU. My system is:
i3 4130 (don't have gpu)
1 ram stick
1 hdd
optical drive
mobo off course (according to newegg it uses up to 60W)
So the only good psu I found that fits my budget is a 500W enermax PSU. enermax-naxn-enp500agt-500w
Is a 500W PSU ok for this tiny build.Im not from AMerica and it's really hard to find below 500W PSUs

More about : 500w psu overkill

yes you dont need 500w, 350 is too much but thats what i would do

Not an overkill.
It allows you to have a room for a graphic card.

There are only cheap MS,HMS,LC and other never heard of PSus with 300-400W. MS maybe?

Well I know that, but my question was:
Should I buy a 500W quality brand PSU or cheap dirt PSUs like blueberry,MS,HMS,LC power,Powerline,spire...
Why:
because there are no popular brand PSU in that W range 300-400.

I don't think enermax could be trusted.

Get a CORSAIR/XFX/SEASONIC lowest wattage PSU.

Here www.pik.ba
If you can find anything...
let me know, exept that enermax 400 and 450W, not available.
Check the Novo checkbox if you dont want to search for used PSUs.
To IAMEXTREME
seasonic is too expensive but there is a 450W psu
