Hey guys I'm going to build my new pc this week and I need to know what kind of psu will I need?
My specs are
I7 4790k
Gtx 960
Asus z97 mobo
One Dvd drive
One 1tb hdd at 7200 rpm
8gb ram 1600Mhz
I'm on a tight budget so depending on my power requirements I was going togo for the corsair cx or gs series. I plan on no overclocking currently. So what should my power requirements be and which psu do you recommend?

Ok. Firstly, does parts your build uses around 300W and higher. If your not planing to overclock i suggest you get a H97 motherboard which is cheaper and designed not to do alot of overclocking, but if you are going to overclock alot then by all means stick with the Z97 mobo. Secondly, i recommend going with Corsair's CX series, but Seasonic, Antec, Super Flower, CiT and XFX are also great brands with high quality parts. I'd go with the CX 500 psu. It is not the most efficient psu, but it should last you 5 or more years, but you will not run into any problems and you have room for upgrades which is great! :).
