What PSU to use?

[ScrappyAbbo]

Hello,

Im upgrading my PC with these specs and am just wondering what type and voltage PSU to put it:

AMD Phenom II X6 1035 (CPU)
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (MotherBoard)
Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR3-1600 (RAM)
Gigabyte HD 7950 3GB DDR5 (GPU)
RaidMax REITER (Case)

pcpartpicker.com will give you wattage requirements.

So I went through it all and I got 403 Watts so if I went to a 600w I should have leg room?

I'd get this (actually, it's due to arrive any day now): Seasonic

The only complaint seems to be short cables... so if you're building in a small case (mid tower), like me, it's the p/v winner imo. Bigger case (full tower), well.. probably not so great.

Also... I'd opt for the Cosair 200r if you can find it or the Cooler Master 431 at that pricepoint.

Based on what? At 80+ gold the 550w PSU I linked for him will be more than adequate. You would have to pay a bit more for a 600w that was better (and even then it wouldn't be required).
