Hi im kinda new to building a pc and i don't know what power supply do I need. Here is my specs

i5 6600k
asus z170-a
Sapphire nitro r9 380 4gb
adata premier SP550 120gb
G.Skills ripjaws V series ddr4 16 gb(8x2)
Cooler master hyper 212 evo
WD blue 1tb

I will overclock up to 4.5ghz if i can.
 
Solution
Your system can easily run on 500-550 watts but it may be better to go up to 600-650 watts if you'll be overclocking the CPU / GPU to give yourself more headroom. EVGA 650 G2 is your best bet.

thanks for replying I appreciate it. Do you think a Cooler master G650M would do the job? it is the only available PSU in my local computer store.

 


Yes, it can do the job. It would be better if you could get something of higher quality but the CM G650M will work.

Thanks mate. It really helped me. I'll probably buy the CM G650, I am actually planning to do a 2 way crossfire but not anytime soon so I'll change my PSU when that happens.
