Hello,
I have some options for my power supply and I wanted to know your opinion
The pc is
i5 750
ati hd 5770
1 hard disk
Thats all that matter right, Anyway how much volt do I need to this one?
I have some options in my price range:

Hec 600W WIN+600
Corsair CMP SU450VXEU <-- 450W
OCZ 500W StealthXStream OCZ500SXS
Seasonic 500W S12II-500 Bronze

all those above are the same price...

The thing is that I do not know how much power the system need?
In corsair website I sow that 450 in enough , But I'm not so sure//
Any help?
 
100W for i5, 110W for 5770, assuming you have nothing else that requires a significant amount of power, add 100W for everything else/buffer, totals 310W. So a 500W would be fine even if you did crossfire the 5770.
If they are all the same price I think I would go for the Seasonic as well.
 
Let this "do the math for you as to size:

I'd start with the list here to choose which one:

It's rare to find a bad Seasonic PSU but I have read no reviews on that particular unit.

s for the Corsair, looks like your talking about this one

Another comparable unit would be the Antec EA-500 which gets the same 9.5 performance rating as the Corsair above:
