Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my pc, that means i need a new power supply but i have no idea of how strong it needs to be

Pc when upgraded:

CPU: Intel i5-4670k @ 4.0 Ghz
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4GB
RAM: 8GB DDR3
MotherBoard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
HDD: 1x 500GB, 1x 250GB
Fans: 5x 14 CM Led Fan, 2x 12 CM Led Fans, 1x 14 CM NON-Led Fan

I like to have a little bit more watts than i need to use for little future upgrades like SSD's or HDD's.
Anyone any idea of how much i need?

Plug all your parts into PCpartpicker and it'll give you an estimate of power required. Or use a PSU estimator of which there are several on the web.
