So, Its my first time building a PC and im concerned about my power supply. I have no problems selecting ram, HDD,DVD drive, GPU, CPU, Heat sink, or Case. I did a lot of research and I think I made good choices for the money I have $650 - 700 at the most. (Feel free to suggest better parts). My Main problem is selecting the right PSU for this rig. I don't want to under shoot or over shoot too much. I don't know how to calculate it. i tried a PSU calculator and it told me 1500 watts 0_o >
What I plan to build:
AMD FX-8350 Octacore @ 4.0ghz stock
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 motherboard - AMD 990FX chipset
Thermaltake Versa H22 case
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW 2gb
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s
Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD (not using SSD)
Asus 24x DVD-RW (any dvd rw will do)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan as my heat sink.
I was going to use a
EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W Continuous Power psu
but my research made me think It might not be enough
the GPU may be a bit on the week side, and the CPU may be overkill for a budget PC But im pretty sure that's what I want
