Need help choosing a PSU

M3thodFud · Dec 6, 2013

Please read it all, as I really want to get the best PSU for my build

So I am going to be building my first computer from the ground up. I have never done this, but I have upgraded parts on other builds from the past (mainly the computers from like Dell for an example). So I have actually never started from scratch. I was just curious if someone would like to help me choose out the perfect PSU, since I am not too fond of PSU's. Here is the hardware I am putting in there!

CPU/Processor and Motherboard Bundle: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1497677

Graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125443

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568

Optic: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

HDD: Haven't choosen yet, but it will NOT be a SSD, and it will be 7200 rpm

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147053

Any help would be appreciated. Also, would anyone one be willing to confirm all of these are compatible (which I am like 95% sure they are.)

Thanks for anyone that helps!!!

If you are on a tight budget, I'd recommend this Antec, made by Seasonic

If you can up the budget, I'd recommend this XFX, also made by Seasonic

I wouldn't get any power supply with the word 'max' in it, save for maybe enermax. Corsair have some great power supplies, but the CX lineup is their cheaper entry level PSUs.
