Hi, I am pretty new to this so still struggling with my first build.
Anyway, I tried some online power supply calculators to determine what type of PSU I need, but I ended up with quite varied results. I probably don't need a very powerful one, but I want to make sure the one I have chosen will be enough.
Here is my current build:
CASE: ARIAnet StealthX Black Midi Tower - £32.52
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/Midi+Tower/ARIAnet+StealthX+Black+Midi+Tower+Gaming+Case+?productId=47034&page=2&rqcType=

Total: £528.92
My budget was around £500, but I guess I have to go a bit above that.
I don't need an OS or monitor as I already have them. I was just wondering if 1) the PSU will be enough, 2), the parts are all compatible and 3), the fans included with the case will be enough.
Thanks!
