Hi all,
I'm building a PC with these components:
CPU: i5 7500
Mobo: Z270
GPU: RX 480

The wattage is just under 300W.

Am I right that I should look for a PSU with around double that?

I'm after an efficient and quiet PC and saw these platinum rated PSUs on Amazon UK:

Enermax Platimax EPM600AWT around £68
Enermax Platimax EPM500AWT around £58

Are they a good choice around that price range? Or can anyone suggest anything better? Full/semi modular cables would be great!

Thanks

Would be my choice.

Thank you, really quick answer!
The reason I looked at the Enermax is because it is rated Platinum. If it's more efficient than a Bronze PSU, wont that lead to:
a) lower power bills;
b) a cooler and therefore quieter PC?
