Hello everyone,

These are the parts I'm buying http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YqXC4D

But I need some help picking out the PSU. PC Part Picker says Estimated Wattage is 333W.
Considering I might be OC'ing the GPU, should I go for a 500-550W PSU ?
No SLI/Crossfire plans in the near future.

I was thinking something along Corsair's 500W CX series or maybe an XFX equivalent... but I would be happy if I can go cheaper.
Any recommendations for the PSU or comments and suggestions about the build overall ?

(Bear in mind I'm not buying in the US, so the PCPP prices a pretty much irrelevant and I already have the GPU)

Thanks!

Although Corsair have excellent PSU's but do not get a CX Series because they are manufactured from cheap China materials.

I recommend Antec, Corsair (any but not CX Series), Seasonic, EVGA, Thermaltake. These are well known and reliable manufacturers.

Hope this has helped you find your PSU. :)

@kunthakenthe
Thx for the answer, but that i5 alone is 35$ more here, I'm already at the limit of my budget.
