What Wattage do I need?

[Adsero110]

Hello Tom's Hardware, this is my first forum post and I am wondering how much wattage I will need for my computer.

I am thinking this power supply: Cooler Master 620W 12V Silent Pro M2 620

Case:Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced
CPU: Intel i5 3570K
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 650 TI
HDD: Seagate 3TB 3.5 inch 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA3
SSD: Crucial CT064M4SSD2 64GB M4 (For Windows)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB Blue
Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme6 Motherboard

A 500w psu will do just fine, from Corsair XFX Seasonic or Antec, anything else and you could be risking your entire system.

So Will this do fine? Cooler Master 620W 12V Silent Pro M2 620

Silent pro is iffy, you should look online to see if people are suffering from the quality of that PSU. The wattage is fine itself but if the PSU is not made with nice components I really would STAY AWAY. Again a quick google search plus going through reviews will suffice.

Please could you recommend a modular power supply for me

I asked for a Modular power supply and maybe am upgrading my graphics card to Asus Geforce GTX 660!

500w is plenty for a gtx660. Look at Seasonic for a good modular PSU.

That PSU is modular... and the even with a 660 it will not use that much.

Seasonic is WAY overpriced... your looking at $100+ for 500w...

Just did a thing online to see how much wattage I need on Asus. It said minimum 650W. So since I was upgrading to a sli geforce gtx 650 ti graphics card I am thinking of going for a 700w to be safe

A gtx 660 will pull maximum 280w. Those estimations are SUPER over estimated or liability reasons. You could run a gtx 670 on 500w no problem. A gtx 660 won't even be close to an issue.

SLI means 2 graphics cards, not one. You were looking at the wattage for 2 650ti's not just one. A single one would run on 450w no problem.

Do not get 2 gts650ti's The performance will be much less than one better GPU.

If this PC is meant to be for gaming, it is all wrong.
