**CPU** | [Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz Dual-Core Processor]
**Motherboard** | [ASRock H81M Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard]
**Memory** | [Kingston Fury Series 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory]
**Storage** | [Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]
**Video Card** | [Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card]
**Case** | [NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case]
**Optical Drive** | [Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer]
| | **Total**
| Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available | $373.87

So, I can't choose which PSU I should get. The required wattage for the video card is 500watts but I am not sure if a 430-450 watts would be enough or I should get something above 500watts and invest in a Seasonic or an Antec one. Also, has anyone had experience with Super Flower PSUs? I can get a 550w semi-modular version for very cheap and I don't know if it's good or not.
Thank you for your help!

I've been looking at the Corsair CX500. It has good reviews and it's affordable for my budget PC.

That would work fine, although you could also get the CX430w which would also suffice

Yeah, I've been thinking about that one too but there are a lot of problems with its longetivity from the reviews. In fact, that was my first choice of a PSU for my build.

The XFX is not avaibable here. Also, I can get the Seasonic S12II 520w power supply if its any good.
