Can either of these handle my rig?

anastasis14

I'm planning on building a pc for gaming and I wonder if any of those PSU's will do the job.

I'm between an 600W OEM 80+bronze one and a corsair cx500(m). Will these handle a:

i5 4460, gtx970,gigabyte h97-hd3 and usually a keyboard and a mouse as peripherals.

Would I save 15E getting the oem one (20E from the modular)?

Neither. Save up and get a evga g2 750 watts. Dont save on the power supply trust me. I bought a g600w for my rig previously (rig in sig) and my computer shuts off by it's own sometimes during load. After changing to this sexy PSU i never had that problem :)

750W is overkill, go 650 max

750watts leaves room for SLI

cx500m is a great option. I have used it in builds before and it works great

I don't think I'll ever SLI, and the shop I have to buy this from only sells this OEM and corsairs. So should I go with the 600W or 750W? Difference is like 20 euros

Well think about it, in the future when there are new graphics card and new demanding games it comes to a point where your GPU CMI. Thus your only choice is to SLI or swap out the GPU (sli being the cheaper option) :P

Get the OEM 600w
