Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for a PSU to put into my build, the components are:

CPU - AMD FX-6300
Mother board - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
Graphics Card - Sapphire Radeon R7 265
Ram - 4 X 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 (hope to upgrade to 1600MHz at some point, but this ram was free)
Case is some old case that was lying around the house, plan to have about 5 fans in it.
Storage: 1 X 1TB 7200RPM western digital green and 2 X 7200RPM 80GB Seagate Hard drives

Future upgrades:
Upgrading ram to 1600MHz
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
120+GB SSD
LED's to light up the case

I also want to overclock the CPU once I get the 213 Evo, hoping to over clock to 4.3GHz to 4.5GHz

So with all the components what wattage PSU would you recommend? PSU wattage calculators have given me around 350W to 520W.
I have about $85 USD I can spend on the PSU, but the less I spend the better, so if there are cheeper ones that preform nearly the same (and are still reliable) I would prefer to go with those, but I do have up to $85 to spend if needed.

I am wanting the best budget PSU that will support my system and the future upgrades I am wanting to do.

Thanks for all your help :)

$60-70 USD maybe? Pretty much any money I save out of the original budget for the PSU is more money I can put towards other components, how much cheaper are bronze vs gold certified versions of that PSU? If this one is worth the money over other lower priced PSU's I don't mind paying the extra

Thanks :)
 
with what your system have you dont even need a 550 watt of psu a 500 watt psu is enough ..............i am giving u few more PSU with lower price....
