Hi there.

I think that 500W would be enough too, especially since you're not going to overclock the CPU. As for the PSU itself I would recommend you to take a look at some golden or platinum certified power supply units.

Cheers! :) 


is this a decent psu? http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-rm... i want to just get an extra 50w just in case.


Yes, this is a good one. Go with it.

That PC will use about 300Watts running a full system stress test, 500 Watts is fine.
