Hello, I just recently finished building my computer although it's still missing a gpu, but i have a good idea of what im planning to use. I was confident that this psu will be enough for my build it has very good reviews from many people that's the main reason i bought it but now i am having second thoughts and figured I will ask you till i still can get a refund.
Here is my build:
CPU: i5 6600k (will be overclocking this guy)
Cooler: Maelstrom 240T
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A
RAM: DDR4 Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB 2144
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB
HDD: 1TB (will be added later on, therefor manufacturer not specified)
Case fans: 4x140mm
GPU(most likely will be buying one of these): MSI R9 390, MSI R9 390X or RX480(not reference one) would also like to overclock it a little bit
I tried using couple of those calculators which should tell me what kind of power supply would be sufficient enough. And those calculators shows two different things which got me confused. http://outervision.com/b/eppYAx This link should take you to result I got from one of calculators and there is written load wattage 600W, but in table it says 563W and amperage 46.9A. This PSU that I have installed, has total output of 620W, combined load on 12V rail 574W and amperage 48 A.
This makes me think that, when i get gpu and overclock it also cpu, my PSU will be working on its maximal potential which is not good for its lifespan. And to clear my mind I am asking your HELP in telling me am i safe with this PSU or should try getting a more powerful one. If the answer is yes, I need more powerful one, then maybe it is possible for you to check this online shop, which offer pretty much all that is possible to get hands on in my country and it is preferable that price would not exceed 100 € if possible. If not I may consider paying more.
EDIT: don't know how I missed that but, on the box it says "12V COMB. 48A" and on the PSU label it says 12V1 24A 12V2 24A, so i suppose this PSU will not be able to deliver 48 amps, which is almost pretty much what i need. Correct me if Im wrong.

. I didn't found info before regarding C states, actually this is my first time hearing of them. But do i really have to disable c5/6 power states, considering that this is not Haswell, but Skylake based processor? Or I just didn't get something of what you were trying to say?
