I'm asking whether my areocool integrator 500w would be sufficient for my build. I have used it for a year now with my 1050ti and i3 7100, h110m-r motherboard. And now i'm upgrading to a 1070 (zotac mini one) and have already ordered an i5 7600k with a cpu fan aswell. What i intend on doing is installing the cpu before i get my graphics card at christmas though not entirely sure if it is worth getting a new PSU for the system. Also not entirely sure how PSU's work as in do thay all have the same cables? so i can still plug in all the same things or do they have more or less cables.. if so, what one can i get which has the same cables as the integrator? Though the integrator has held me up for 1 year and most people with issues had them earlier. So not sure if i can keep the integrator for a bit after the 1070, like half a year or another then get a new psu...

I would recommend 650w and above. 550w gives you too little headroom for OC and future builds.

Im not looking to upgrade after this for a while, like 3 - 5 years, so by then i would buy a whole new system. And i don't mind the oc.
