Power supply recommendations for this build?

mdiiorgi · Feb 18, 2016

I plan to upgrade to an i5 6500 in the future (within the next year or two) as well as a better graphics card such as an evga gtx 960 4gb graphics card (within the next year). I was thinking about this PSU but I am not sure how much wattage I need considering my future plans. Thanks!

Thermaltake does not make very good power supplies. For about the same cost you can get an EVGA G2 model made by Super Flower, one of the best.

Hi - Archaic is right, I'd avoid most TT PSU's, altho the toughpower series is better than many of their others.
And that 550 gold apppears to be OK.

Still, if the price is close go with the better option, and for $73 & up you can prob do better.
I like the G2 linked by Archaic for that $$.
