You didn't even link us to your build.

 

Besides, PCPP tells you what the recommended wattage is -_-

Yes but those estamed aren't always right...

 

There are sites that you calculate your wattage more precisely but whatever youve taken will 99% be enough people, tend to think their system draw alot more power then it equally does

Sorry about that, fixed the link... I know it shows a recommended wattage, it just seems kind of low to me... and this is my first custom build..

Wattage seems correct to me. Why so many fans though? That case can only hold 1 200mm fan and 1 140mm fan. The rest are 120mm

nope, pc dont draw that much power... unles you go balls to wall.... i'd take 550 watts and have some OC headroom, if you think about adding a second gpu take 700 watts

you are incorrect about how many fans this case can hold, it has a few configurations, mine is: 3 200mm fans, 2 on the top, 1 in the front, 2 120mm bottom intakes, 2 140mm, one as a rear exhaust and 1 as a side intake.. the third 140mm in the list is for the HDD cage it has a fan mount.. and the last 140mm fan is an add-on fan for the CPU cooler. I live in a very dusty area so I wanted a lot of positive air pressure to cut down on how much I have to clean out the case... 

 

 

Also thanks for the input every one

Lol no problem, should I go ahead and purchase a different PSU for this build seeing as it only has 1 connect for the GPU, I'd have to use 2 molex to 6 pin to be able to use this card... I already own this PSU (the antec 620), I upgraded my old system with it I think a year ago..
