I got an i5-4460 cpu, an Asus h81m p plus mobo, 8 gb of ddr3 ram, a gtx 960 graphics card, 1 tb sata 7.2k rpm hdd, a wlan pci card, an optical drive for dvds and 3 120 mm fans.
I'm thinking on the Aerocool KCAS 500W 80 PLUS Bronze psu, Would it be good enough?
I've used some power consumption calculators(like: this one) but i don't know if they are reliable.

Yes 500w would be enough because your PC. When using a 960 it is recommended to have atleast 400w power, according to a powersupply calculator you'll use around 350w, 500w would be enough. Even for a 970 and i7 500w is enough.

Ok but would that psu or another 500w one work well enough? Cause I don't know if that calculators are reliable. Thanks by the way.


I was asking if 500w is enough, not a good brand, but thanks I will consider EVGA.
