I'm trying to figure out what PSU I need to get for my build, I have used 3 different online wattage calculators and ended up getting some conflicting results.
Newegg Wattage Calculator: 682
pcpartpicker recommended wattage: 305
outervision Calculator: 365
Most comments and reviews on GPU cards I have read say you should have more than 500 watts for a good PC build, but I want to have the recommended 100 extra watts after the whole build is complete, so should I get just a 500 watt like most the calculators are saying? Or go with and 700 or higher PSU?
Current build:
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G
CPU: Core i5 6600 6M
RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAW V Series 8GB ( 2 x 4 gig sticks)
Optical Drive: LITE- ON Black DVD-ROM
Storage: WD 1TB Black series 7200 RPM
