Hello all,
I am making a PC for my brother and we have decided on these parts:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£82.49 @ Ebuyer)
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling UCACO-AP60301-BUA01 Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler (£8.62 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£79.94 @ Dabs)
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£59.99 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£59.98 @ Ebuyer)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card (£151.99 @ Amazon UK)
Wireless Network Adapter: Asus PCE-N15 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter (£15.55 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case (£34.94 @ CCL Computers)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) (£70.30 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £563.80
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

As you can see, I've selected a 600W Corsair PSU, but the PCPartPicker Website says the system only needs 344W of power. How accurate is this?
I say this cause the Elite 430 case has a bundle which comes with a 500W PSU which would save thirty quid, and this would be better if 500W is enough.
Thanks in advance
