Alright, my Raidmax PSU failed on me, now I need a new PSU. Here are my specs -

Motherboard - Gigabyte Z97x gaming 7.
CPU - Intel Pentium G3258.
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 560 Non-Ti.
HDD's - 2x 2TB Western Digital HDD and 1x 250GB Western Digital HDD.
SSD - 1 Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB.
CD/DVD Drives - 2 Drives.

I know the CPU is a non-k processor and the mobo is an overclocking mobo, but I have money issue and in a few months, i will get a K series processor. Also the GPU is kinda outdated but I'm a student, so I can't afford to upgrade it every year.

I tried a few sites to calculate, but it's confusing.

With the current configuration, you want a power supply with a +12V rating of at least 27A. A good 350W power supply would accommodate this.
With an 88W CPU and a 250W graphics card which you could choose to use in this system, you want a power supply with a +12V rating of at least 40A. A good 500W supply would accommodate this.
I would choose a better supply if you can and give yourself the flexibility for upgrades.

Here are some suggestions:
XFX Pro 550
XFX Core 550
XFX TS 550
Antec HCG 620
Rosewill Capstone 550
Seasonic G 550
Seasonic S12G 550

Yes, it is a non-K CPU but you can OC it just as if it were a K.
