I am looking to build a Pc for Christmas and I need help on what power supply to get. I was looking at getting a Corsair CP-9020102-UK CX Series CX550M but i don't know if there are enough wires and wattage to power my PC.

The components I am looking to buy are:
Radeon Rx 470 4Gb
Intel i3 6100
8gb ddr4 ram
DEEPCOOL CAPTAIN240EX Visible Liquid cooler
ASRock Z170 Extreme4 Skylake ATX
WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk

I would recommend a minimum of 300w If you are overclocking I would recommend about double that(600w). I personally prefer EVGA power supplies but seasonic power supplies are good too. Wires shouldn't be a problem the amount of wires you need is fairly universal if anything you will probably have extra. Hope this helps good luck building.
