Need help for choosing PSU

morphox92

hey everyone, I am asking you guys this question because it's the first time i am building a pc. I have a budget of 800$ and i have chosen all of my components.

However i don't know much about PSU's,so i would like to know if a 550w psu is enough for this system or i need a higher wattage.

If you reccomend another PSU i would like a semi modular one,but please it shouldn't be too expensive because i already reached the limit

P.S if you guys think that i can improve somehow this build just tell me please.

 

Thank you

Yep, an the G-series is super quiet and awesome. The EVGA GQ/GS/G2 are all good options if, for whatever reason, the G-series doesn't work for you.

To improve on your build, BTW, I'd grab a PNY CS1311 SSD and an ATX motherboard rather than your SSD and your motherboard selection in there.

ok thank you for the tips, actually i wasn't even sure of having an ssd at the beginning that's why i chose this cheaper one,you think an ssd it's a must or can i remove it to have  bit more money for other stuff? Can you suggest me any ATX motherboard that would fit well in my pc?

An SSD is a must for myself. Don't know about you. I can't go back to defragging the drive and struggling with opening things when one or two things is already open. Faster boot times, completely silent, etc. The PNY I suggested, I do believe, is cheaper than that Toshiba so you should have a little extra cash in your pocket as a result. For an ATX motherboard:
