As the question says....
I dont have a PSU yet... not planning on upgrading or anything.. i just want to know the minimum wattage requirements on this build thats all... only mild gaming and internet browsing..(Facebook, Youtube, etc.)

This is my build that i have already purchased.... and the only thing left is the PSU.

Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (White)
CPU: Intel Core i5 4570
Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3H LGA 1150
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 2x4GB 1600 CL 9
GPU: Sapphire R7 260X 2GB 128-bit GDDR5
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5

oh by the way... im from Philippines. Mindoro

Hi again, I have the CS750M as i wanted to take advantage of what haswell provides. Haswell or 4th gen allows a extremly low power state that, normal or non compatible haswell psus' cant provide. If I were you I'd get one of the CS M series power supplys or a haswell compatible one.

Its not vital your power supply is compatible but you would have to change the C6/C7 power states in the bios(<I have no idea what that is). I didn't want to have to hassle in the bios so went for a compatible power supply.

Hope this helps :)

Hi, the minimum will be about 150 watts, at peak 300 watts at most. I'd go with a 500watt psu although it overkill its better to be safe and go over, and go with reputable manufactures like corsair, silvestone or antec.

wow that was quick..... lol!
then ill be getting a 500 watts PSU. thanks a lot guys!
oh btw... i just researched some PSU that they are saying like "PSU Haswell Compatible" and ive done some research about corsair's PSU. and this is what ive found.

http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/2013/may/haswell-compatibility-with-corsair-power-supplies

is it necessary for my PSU to be haswell compatible?? bcuz the only cheapest PSU of Corsair to be available that ive found is the Corsair GS600 600w Power Supply (2013 Edition)... i cant seem to find a Corsair CS550M available...

so what do you think??
