This is my build:
AMD FX-6300
Asus M5A97 R2.0
Radeon HD 7870
G.skill RipjawsX 8GB
Cooler Master Elite 430
Asus 24D3ST Black 24x SATA

I don't know what specific PSU wattage to use with this build and with 5x 120mm cooling fans. Like this thermal solution in this site (http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/mid-tower/elite-430-black.html) but I won't put a fan at the bottom.

XFX Core Edition 550W is what Sakkura recommended to me from my thread before.

My question is, what PSU and how many wattage I need with these 5x 120mm cooling fans and this build. Is 550W alright like there's no more free wattage for additional things. Or, do I have to pick another PSU with higher wattage to be compatible with my build and its cooling system.

Please help me, it will be much appreciated. It's my first time on building a Gaming PC.

Thank you!

What my brother was saying to me is, if I want to have these 5x 120mm cooling fans, I will need a higher PSU wattage like 750W. Is it true? Or XFX Core Edition 550W is enough to handle these build and cooling system?

I'm not going to overclock though.

Problem is, I don't know if XFX Core Edition 550W is available in my country which is Philippines. If it isn't, what other specific PSU would you recommend?

XFX Core Edition 550W vs. Seasonic M12II 620W 80+ Bronze

Which one has the better quality and performance?

Anyway, is my gaming pc build good? Are there any necessary changes?

Both are good. All XFX PSUs are manufactured by SeaSonic. XFX does not make their own PSUs. Go with whichever is cheaper. If they're both around the same price, the SeaSonic one is 70W more.

And yes, your build looks good. Not sure I would make any changes unless you have budget left to buy a more powerful GPU.

I will buy these parts 6 months from now because I'm still saving up money. Will these parts may subject to change because there will be new hardwares to be released in the next few months?

Can you suggest a more powerful GPU and how much is it? My budget is under $230.
