How much wattage to power this build?

[A Drawer For Fun]

R3 3100 and 1660 S build

400 to 450W if it's a decent unit, not a fire hazard. 450 is more then enough for sure.

At worst the system draws around 200-230ish watts. 

Budget for a PSU? But a decent 450/400w unit is plenty.

It's not necessarily the best unit. 

It's a group reg one and the 650w is better (not because of Wattage but because it's a whole different PSU), look for a system power 9 400w or a pure power 11 500w or a cx450 which are all good.

i see, prices will be different then, try finding some deals on PSUs and then come back to make another thread before confirming your purchase.

 

if you need some suggestions, the TX550m is definitely one of the units to look out for.
