psJustDoit · Oct 13, 2015

Im building a new gaming pc and im wondering how many watts do i need for this build and can you suggest some good budget psu's for it

CPU- Intel i5-4460
GPU- GTX 960
RAM- Corsair Vengeance 8gb(2x4gb) 1600Mhz
Motherboard- ASRock H97 Anniversary
HDD- WD Blue 1TB 7200 rpm

A 350 watt PSU would suffice. With just those parts, it adds up to about 303 watts. I would recommend getting a higher watt PSU if you want to upgrade in the future (e.g. 500-700 watt).

really, i was going to get the corsair vs550 550 watt psu, well it would have been a major overkill, oh and btw, can i use my older cpu cooler and the older cd case

Only if your CPU cooler is the same socket as LGA1150. Same for your case. Your case has to support ATX motherboard size. Also, pick a PSU from the top two tiers in this link: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html.

That'll work, for your rig a good 400 with 20 AMPs on the 12 volt will suffice, if any thought of upgrading the GPU down the road and have it in the budget now, going a 5-550 wouldn't be a bad idea
