Recently, I just throw away my cheap 800w psu since it is too old and too big and heavy to be carry in the plane luggage and not to mention too loud.
So,now I need to know what is the wattage needed for my pc to be able to run without any future trouble.My friend suggested to get 550W PSU.

My build:
SABERTOOTH 990FX mobo
GTX970 evga
8350 CPU @ 4.2GHz
2 HDD
cooler master hyper 212 evo cpu cooler
and a few fans on casing

Thank you!

Doesnt 650W seems more than you need?

 


It's keeps your options open for any upgrades. You get more headroom than a 550W.
