How many watts for this build?

TheOnePhoenix · Sep 6, 2017

Hey guys, I'm building a new low-mid end gaming pc and I'm selecting a power supply for this build,

My specs are:

i5 7500

8gb DDR4

Gtx 1050 ti

500gb ssd

I'm thinking of getting a 500w,

Yes, a good quality 500W or 550W PSU would be fine.

Would give you plenty of headroom for future upgrades for more powerful graphics cards, CPU etc.

300 W would be enough if using quality unit. If you plan to upgrade GPU in future to something more powerful (but still mid level), you can take 450 W unit, like this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na

there aint many good quality psu's at under 450w, so i would recommend a good 450w even though you would only really need a 350w.
personally i wouldnt bother with corsair instead i would go with a dedicated psu manufacturer like seasonic or superflower.

Would a Coolermaster Masterwatt Lite 500w be a good budget option for this build?

TheOnePhoenix :

If looking for something absolutely cheap but still decent, Corsair CX450 (2017 version) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q7L7YJ/corsair-cx-2017-450w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-cp-9020120-na
