Your PC will do fine with a 550W unit, EVGA G2 550 and Corsair RM550x are highly recommended.

So what do you recommend? EVGA or Corsair? Sorry for asking but i'm a really noob in this area

By the way, thanks for answering

He said Corsair is good enough, it's a 550W and your other link, the EVGA, is a 600W.
With your config, no need for more imo (but I'm not a pro too :] ).

Eusebe_ :

But the gpu power comsuption it's 225w :/

JeSuisEder :

No, the TDP is 225W, the actual power consumption of your entire systems is no more than 300W in most cases. Hence, one of the two power supplies I listed will work great.

When it comes to PSU wattage, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!

basroil :

The entire system power consumption is 350w (according to cooler master calculator) but thanks for your help, i'll have to search a little more before buying

clarkjd :

Those sites are always BS, you'll see that the actual consumption is far lower. As for searching before buying, that's a good idea. Here's a good place to start http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-psus,4229.html

Thank you very much for your help

Btw, cooler master is a good brand for psu?

basroil · Aug 1, 2016

JeSuisEder :

No. Some of their units are good, but some are trash. All companies with the exception of Seasonic are that way (and even seasonic has a few lemons)

Stick to the two I listed, they are the cheapest tier 1 supplies out there (aka top quality for cheap)
