Need help choosing my power supply! (urgent, newbie here)

TheDoner · Jul 21, 2015

Hi, so my pc is made of these:
MoBo: Asus Z97 Pro Gamer
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 680 4gb DDR5 256 bits (6 and 8 pins)
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 6 gb/s
RAM: 8gb (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 2133 Mhz

I'm planning on buying a Corsar Carbid Spec-03 case also. It includes 3 120mm fans, 2 of which are LED.
I wanna know what power supply should i buy? i was planning to buy the corsair cx600M but now i dunno, maybe that's not enough? HELP please!

You'd likely be fine with a decent name 500-550 watt, but for the few
more bucks it costs to go to a 750 or higher is not often much. The extra
headroom is nice and you know the psu is likely to fit your needs more effortlessly

a 650W - 750W will be good, will also leave you some room in case you add more components, such as, another GPU.
here is a few Tier One PSU.
SuperNova G2 750Watts
