PSU + R9 380

[SPiNZ]

hey guys, my time has come to build my own rig.
So im in a dillema. Should i buy a high quality psu with 430w ( xfx ts) or a average quality psu with 500w (evga w1)?The psu calculators says that my system should push around 380w but i don't know if its good for the psu being like at 90% at full load. So which one should i buy?
My system will be:
i5 6400
msi h110m
2x8gb ddr4 kingston furyx (1 now,1 in the future)
1 ssd 240gb (future)
1 hdd 500gb (now)
1 hdd 1tb (future)
asus r9 380 strix
carbide 100r with 4 fans
Thanks for the help!

Don't buy an r9 380 now. Wait for the 1050 or RX 460/470, or save up for a 1060, or at the worst, wait and buy an R9 380 once the price drops

that's what i did, here in europe the r9 380 is normally 230€ and now is 208€.The 1060 is 330€ and the rx470 will take too long to get to the market with aftermarket coolers.That's why i need to know which psu is the best.

With a 380 the 430W TS will be fine. 380s don't actually draw that much power. Your system will never exceed 300W, if even that, under load.

Well the PSU calculator thinks that a newer generation 380 and low power i5 will draw more than a 5960X and GTX 980 so it's wrong.
