Check out PC Parts Picker.  Input your build specs and it'll answer your question.

Yes for real.  PC parts picker is a really good site for pricing your rig and checking if it will all be compatible.

There are also reviews for most parts, you may find what you are looking for there,

Only Goldenfield PSU on the tier list is in Tier C but I don't think that's this model. In the pictures it's marked "Jans." No Jans on the list at all. This thing seems like it's basically a mystery box to me. I would pass.

Hello dave2700, I do not recognize that brand. I would proceed with caution. i can't find a Johnny guru article about it or any reputable reviewers. While online reviews are important, the average person often lacks the equipment to properly test for ripple (variance in power delivery (more is bad)) and how good the protections built into the power supply are. Multiple PSUs of similar rating even from the same company might have different level of protection. The PSU has OCP or over current protection but without proper reviews we have no idea how good that or any of the other protections it has might be. My verdict is that we won't know until a psu reviewer thats reputable tests it. But that probably won't happen. Buying a PSU that will be more likely to protect your components if something go wrong is he choice I would make. Go for a reputable brand like corsair, rosewill, evga, or seasonic, and buy something 600w bronze or better if you can. If worse comes to worse you could trawl the EVGA B Stock page and snatch up a recertified 600w White PSU for $30-35 or a recertified bronze 600W PSU for ~50 USD. This method might take a while though all there stock was flushed by Christmas shoppers.

This is a terrible PSU of epic proportions with fake 80 PLUS badge to boot.

don't worry i have already chosen to go with the EVGA 500 BQ, 80+ BRONZE 500W, Semi Modular, FDB Fan, Power Supply 110-BQ-0500-K3 instead.
