I don't know what power supply to get?!? Help?!?

ReeceL6828 · Apr 27, 2014

Hey there I'm looking to purchase a new mid end gaming PC but I don't know what power supply I should get. My Specs
AMD FX 6300 [May Over clock]
4GB DDR3 1333mhz Ram
R9 270 MSI Gaming Edition [I will over clock to the speed of a R9 270x]
1 DVD-RW Drive
1 500gb 7200rpm Sata 6gb
Asus M5A97 L.E R2.0
BitFenix Merc Alpha
I was hoping to get the EVGA 500B 500w PSU if I could. Please keep prices low. Thanks
By the way I'm from the UK so £ would be better than $

minimum 24A on the 12v rail and 500W eg Antec HCG 520M

This should suit your needs and is pretty much the same price as the EVGA supply, just better. It's made by seasonic, so you shouldn't have to worry about the quality, and has a 5 year warranty as well.

That xfx psu is a nice one.

If you're really going to overclock would i spend a little more on the motherboard,

or this one,

or even less,

(even with no overclocking will this be a nice and cheaper option)
these have cooling at the vrm's which will help.
A list about vrm's->overclocking and which am3+ motherboard supports that,

If you decide not to overclock and will not upgrade the gpu to one that needs two power connectors would the next psu also be fine,

the 450watt version of that xfx psu.
