Hello.
I'm currently building a budget gaming pc, but I'm not hardcore gamer.
I want to buy a PSU but I don't know exactly what I need or what to use for what I'm building.
These are the specs:
AMD FX 6300 3.5ghz Black Edition
MSI 970A-G46 (Board)
MSI GT 730 GDDR5 1GB
Team Elite DDr3 1333mhz 4gb
Hitachi 400gb HDD
Dell Wide monitor 17 or 19" (haven't decided)
Thermaltake V3 Case
it goes around that, I thought of FX 4300 first, but I wasn't sure and I saw 6300 for 11 bucks more...
I want to know how much W would this pc consume more or less, and what brand PSU I can buy for less than 50$. I've seen EVGA 500 or 550 one for 44.99$ on newegg.com and Corsair CX 430w one... but Corsair CX have many negative reviews about noise and other stuff (CX series does it seems) and EVGA one had some trouble with cables I think (I don't know anything about PSU, forgive me for my ignorance).
Please take a bit of your time and give me some advices (and links to check).
Note: I'm buying from newegg.com website and Amazon.com, don't know about other ones.

"I want to know how much W would this pc consume more or less, and what brand PSU I can buy for less than 50$."
Only 300w ? wew, then with some 400W+ PSU I can survive... Awesome.
My total budget is around 500$. But I'm almost at the limit of it because I'm living outside U.S. so I have to use additional service and add that with everything else... sadly. I just want a good PSU that can last and don't get forced with the pc. Since I have 1 week left I wanted to do thorough research before buying everything so I don't regret.
