Hey guys so I need to know what power supply to pick for this build as I have no experience in this subject.

It says it needs 303 watts, but is that a bare minimum?

What's a safe wattage for this build so that I won't encounter any problems?

Specific power supply suggestions are very helpful and appreciated!

Thanks!

Wait so is 550w more than enough? Is XFX a good brand? It has no ratings.
