Hi
My current build is based on i5-4590, 1 SSD, 1 HDD, and probably a 2nd hand GPU (like GTX 550 Ti), which i may later upgrade to GTX 960
Basically if i limit myself to GPU that has a TDP of 120w and below (thus probably max draw less than 150w), and knowing that i5-4590 won't draw more than 100w at max, i was thinking whether a corsair CX430M would be sufficient for this build ?
Also, usually i tend to use a computer for a very long time (i.e. once i upgrade, i pass it on to the living room as a 2nd computer, and so on), so reliabilty of the PSU is key
Should i aim for something slightly higher in grade (such as gold rating) as well as in wattage (more like 500/550 watts ?)
