Hello I am building my first gaming PC and have finally decided on all my parts.

Mobo: msi h61m-p31/wb
Ram: 4gig ddr3 1600
Hdd: 1tb wd blue
CPU: intel pentium g860

Now I am wondering what wattage I would need to power a r7 260x I'm looking at either the corsair cx500 or 600. I have checked every where and found nothing. Help would be very much appreciated. Thank you
 
The 260x will draw roughly 170-200 max wattage, and a cx 500 will power it just fine, though you may choose to go with a higher quality power supply so that you may use it in future upgrades rather than being limited because you bought a poor quality power supply
