I used the power supply calculator, and it tells me on full peak load 100%, you'll need 265 watts. Recommended 315 watts. The Corsair CX430M is perfect for your build. It's got a little too much, but that's fine because at any time you can upgrade your 750 Ti.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx430m It's also semi-modular so you can choose which cables you need and throw the rest of them in the box. 80+ Bronze keeps it at at least 82% efficiency.

Everything should fit in fine. A nice Corsair or Seasonic 650 or 750 watt PSU would be great (allowing room for a good amount of overclocking and upgrading to something like a 780Ti).

There's no way he'll be upgrading to a GTX 780 Ti by looking at his entire build. Going from a $150 card to a $700 card doesn't make any sense. It's also a horrible idea to plan to upgrade to a much better card in the future can having to use twice the amount of power that you'll ever need. He'll be spending a lot of unnecessary money on his power bill and his computer will be hotter than it'll need to be.

How do you know that he won't? He has a great CPU and motherboard. He might not have had enough money for a new GPU, or he wanted to have one long enough to save up for a really nice one. And the OP even said that he might upgrade sometime in the future.

I agree with him go with a 650 to 750 watt power supply so you have a nice amount of leg room for upgrading and overclocking.

750W is OVERKILL for his rig, 500W if more than enough. But if you want some space go for the same PSU I have in my sig. It's great plus it's gold efficiency.

ok 750 watts is overkill but you want him to get a 1500watt one?

Exactly. And he can worry about his power supply when he wants to upgrade.

read his post he says if he is to get a bigger power supply than needed to get the one in his sig...and the one in his sig is a Vengeance 1500V2

Same as what I'm doing I had some blackmarket shit PSU and decided I'm going to get a 770 soon so I got a new PSU. It makes sense...

No need for the harsh words I simply overlooked that as it isn't a big brand (atleast not one that I have heard of)

That's Corsair! What are you even talking about? 

1. There is no power supply names Vengeance and;

2. There is no headset called Vengeance. Just the model name from Corsair.

 

Just use your common sense. A GT610 would never require 1500W.

A 650W would make much more sense and he has an i5.

I've never heard of Supernova not a big fan of EVGA so I guess I never really pay much attention to them

Awesome. Perfect power supply for you upgrade. I have very similar, just look at my sig. My power supply is the Corsair TX650M, althought it's 80+ Bronze, the components in the PSU are high quality and dual-ball fan bearing.

Sweet rig man, hows that cooler? You managing good overclocks, I was thinking of getting H80 after I upgrade mobo and cpu later this year, but unfortunately the H100 doesn't fit the 300R D: Maybe you could help me out as I'm in the middle of writing up a build log and looks for people to help me choose parts! I like yo keyboard :$

Great cooler for a 120mm radiator. I'm not overclocking yet, I just built it yesterday and I'm going to vacation for 3 days, so I will barely be on LTT. After I come back though, I'll definitely help you on your build log!

And yes, my Ducky MX Blue's are amazing.  :lol:
