Hello guys,

I'm building my own PC at the moment. But I can't find out what kind of power supply I need. How much wattage and amps ? I got these components:
*MSI Gaming M5 motherboard
*MSI GTX 970 4gb
*Intel i7 6700k 4,00 ghz
*Corsair dominator 16 gb DDR 4-3000
*Corsair H115i water cooling
*Thermal take F51 case
*Standard SSD 64 gb
*Standard HDD 500 gb
*Normal DVD-ROM player

I saw some sites to calculate it but that didn't make any sense to me. So I hope you guys can tell me this.

Thanks !

allright i'll look if i can find it and i'll come back with the brand and model..
 
That's a terrible PSU, unfortunately. Most of its power comes from the +5V rail, which is all but useless these days. Just about every component in your PC uses the +12V rail, on which that PSU only provides 432W.

Look at the tier list I posted earlier. Seasonic are arguably the best in the business, followed closely by XFX.
