Hello,

I want to buy a new PSU for my computer. Following is my current configuration:

Processor: Intel 3.1 GHz LGA 1155 Core i5 3450.
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10).
Graphic Card: VGA Sapphire RADEON RX 470 4G GDDR5 PCI-E HDMI / TRIPLE DP OC W/ BP (UEFI).
Cabinet: Cooler Master K281 Cabinet.
FANs: I've added 2 Fans for better ventilation and 1 Fan came with the cabinet.
Thermal Compound : Arctic Silver 5.

My budget is between 75$ to 90$. And I cannot afford anything above that price range. Please advice how much watts PSU will be sufficient for my configuration and which brand would be the best to buy?

PS:- Please don't suggest me to buy Corsair PSU as I owned RM850w and it stopped working within the warranty period. Its been more than 60 days now and I haven't received a replacement. That's the main reason I'm looking to buy a new one.

check out this website>http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
it allows you to calcualte the amount of wattage needed
I did it for you and it turns out your system takes up about 350 watts in total
if you do the calculation, you will see that the website gives you suggestions at the bottom of the website for your system. I would go for seasonic, would've gone for corsair, xfx and evga. hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you for a quick reply. The calculator link provided suggests EVGA 500w for my system. So will 500w be sufficient or should I buy a higher watts PSU considering I will be upgrading my system next year. Please advise, thank you.
