hey guys, for my build  I'm still stuck on choice of power supply. I know I want to go for the corsair cx line of power supplies however, I'm not sure which one I want to go for. My system has an estimated wattage of 314w. I was going to go for the 550w cx but it's always out of stock or at a supply that charges $75+ for shipping. So now I'm left to decide either on the 450w ($89) or the 650w ($140) but I'm not sure which one would be better. help would be great!

The 450W will work fine.

Of course there are alternatives as well:

yeah but won't it run quite loud?

Louder than a CX650, but that's the trade off you could be willing to make. Plus I doubt it will become louder than your videocard for example. 

Otherwise you should look into more efficient units with larger fans, like a TXM by Corsair.
