So recently I decided to upgrade my computer and with the upgrades added, my current PSU (EVGA 80+ Bronze Certified 500w) can't really handle all of them. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good power supply for around or under $120 that could run my computer it would be a huge help!
Specs
Video Card: MSI R9 Radeon 380
Cpu: Intel i5-4690k 3.5 GHz quad core
MOBO: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Calculators are ether over or under. Your build will be fine on a 550w/650w would be good of good tier 1 or 2 quality mentioned above.

The best cheap ones right now are the EVGA GS and B2. Also the XFX TS is not as nice but of high quality.
Lastly ANY SeaSonic is of quality. Not all EVGA's are only the G2 / B2 / GS / PS / P2. The G1/B1 and NEX units are horrible.

First, (and I apologize if I sound mean ) more info as to what you're entire system is currently running would be useful. Such as fans, USB devices, liquid cooling or air cooling, LEDS (though usually negligible), DVD drives can help with the selection but lucky for you there is a website for this!

Enter all information about your computer. There is an expert page or basic if you don't know what all if it means. Once it has calculated your total usage over say ~8 hours a day it'll spit out a max draw wattage and a recommended power supply wattage. ALTHOUGH usually it only puts about 100w above calculated max draw I would recommend atleast 150w above your systems usage just to be safe.

Hope this helps!
