Hi,
I am building a new machine primarily for Gaming. The config is as follows:
Cabinet : Corsair Carbide Series 400R Mid Tower Case
Processor : i5 2500K
Motherboard : Gigabyte Z68X-UD3R-B3
RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) (2 X 4GB)
Graphic Card : Asus GF GTX460 1GB (ENGTX460 DIRECTCU/2DI/1GD5)
SSD : 2 Corsair Force Series F40A 40GB
Hard Drive : Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
Fan Controller : NZXT sentry 2 touch screen fan controller (Not really sure but might add)
I can't figure out how much wattage should the PSU that I buy have. Using http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine (with 95% CPU Utilization and 15% Capacitor Aging) I get about 449W as recommended. I will never go for SLI, I will never overclock. This is the config which will remain such for atleast the next 2 years.
How much wattage should I go for? And which is the best available PSU with that wattage?
Thanks!
