That Cooler Master 450 W is not enough. Buy that EVGA.

Don't risk because everything you plug in your PC need power ( mice,keyboard,usb). with that 600 W is more safe.

hi there i'm from indonesia.......
before u buy a new psu , u must to know what is recommended psu from nvidia
they told it's minimum 500w with 30A
so u can calculate the power of psu
exc :
psu 650w with eff80% bronze 80+
650w x 20%= 150w
650w - 150w = 500w

if u want to buy bronze psu minimum u must buy 650w with 30A in +12v for the save.

For the 760 I'd suggest the
XFX 650 W or the HX 650W.

You always want extra wattage room in your build to prevent artifacts or anything like that. If the card requires 550W I'd suggest 650W, just to be on the safe side and allow your build to last longer

The Corsair CX series is for low-mid range budgets. The 760 is sort of high range. If you want your components to last long I'd suggest the Corsair HX 650 or the XFX 650, the HX series is more expensive because its 80 plus gold but will last you longer.

I'm not well informed on EVGA PSUs but I know that XFX and Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic which is known to be one of the best PSU makers out there in terms of quality and longevity.
