I would prefer a >650watt psu,one of good quality.Look at tiers 1+2 in the next list,
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#15349669
550watt should be enough,but with that cpu and it probably getting overclocked would i want abit more.

Is sli something on your mind for the future?


@HEXIT,

why not include EVGA,Corsair,XFX,FSP (Hydro G for instance) in that link? Why limit to just 550watt?

coz you dont need any more power than 550w on that build... my personal rule of thumb is 200watts above what you need for the basic system draw at full load.
that system will draw about 350w total so anything more than 550w isnt really needed.

why not corsair or other gaming orientated brands?.
because there not dedicated psu manufacturers who make there own units.
corsair and xfx psu's for instance tend to drop in quality as the product gets older so they can push there latest and greatest.
while brands that make there own units tend to be better quality over the life of the product. (just a personal observation of a long time builder)
