i tried to find evga in my country and its not available
my choice of power supply are very limited

My specs are as follows : (FOR NOW)

- Z87 GD65 mobo
-4 GB RAM
-Integrated graphic card ( will change for the future, but my budget is tight for now)
-Intel Quad Core i5-4670K Processor 3.4 GHz Intel HD Graphics 4600 Socket LGA1150[/size]

Budget does not matter to me for now since i will need to get the supply from my country itself


About over clocking - it will be in the future, not now, but i need a supply which will be able to resist overclocking

my choices are as follows

Unless you are going to drop in a top end GFX card later, any of the smaller power PSUs in your list will do. Your system as it stands will probably draw about 80W to 90W at idle and top out at 250W - 300W. When you put in a GFX card you will be adding any where between 75W and 225w depending on the model you choose (unless you put in 2x GFX, in which case double the model's amount).

I haven't used a PSU bigger than 650W for a single GFX build in a long time. Just make sure it is an '80plus Bronze' or better from a reputable vendor. In order to achieve 80plus the manufacturer has to use better parts and a better design.
