Hey Everybody!

I was wondering what type of power supply I should use..

I asked my computer repair guy and he said I should go for a 750w power supply..

I checked the Cooler Master power supply calculator and it recommended a 450w power supply!

All the numbers confuse me like all the different wattage, 12v rails, Japanese and Chinese capacitors, Continuous and Peak wattage...

Keep in mind I am on a budget but I would like it to be from a respected brand and one that wont blow my PC up and burn my house down within 5 minutes of use :/

Here are my specs :)

CPU:
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750k Trinity
Socket: Socket FM2

Memory:
1x 8GB DDR3

Graphics Card:
AMD R9 270x

HDD:
7200rpm SATA

Optical Drive:
DVD/CDRW Combo Drive (I think that is what it is because it runs both CD's and DVDS...)

Thanks Guys :)
