Hi the parts of my rig are posted below. I want to know what psu should i buy, since my Seasonic m12-evo 750w 80+ bronze died already. I am planning to buy a new psu that is capable to run the parts.

CPU: i5-4590
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-H97M Gaming 3
RAM: Gskills Ripjaws X(2x4gb) 8gb 1600 CL9
GPU: Sapphire R9 280x 3GB DRR5
STORAGE: WD 1TB Caviar Blue + WD 500GB Caviar blue

Thanks for
Your suggestions.

for that system 550W is more than suitable, look at Seasonics S12II series PSU 620W, XFX TS 550W or EVGA G2 550W PSU's these are all fantastic units at good prices and will suit your system perfectly.

you don't need 750W that a weird kinda middle ground W range, too low for SLI and too high for a single card setup, 500W would be able to run your system but it could push it over 80% sometimes and personally im not comfortable with that high usage 550W-650W is perfect for most single card setups including yours .

Hi,

According to this http://pcpartpicker.com/list/PRYZZ8 you (only 4parts) your system is using 403w, now with HD,..etc it will require more. I would go with 550-650w or more as Gold+ they usually live for a long time + for future upgrades or 2nd GPU (Not you cant crossfire with 650W if you are planning to do that).

So if you dont plan to crossFire (buy 2nd R9 280x) then 650W is more than enough, if you are planning to get another GPU 750W is needed otherwise if you buy lower than that you will have to replace it.

Regards,
