Hey im building a new comp. 

 

The specs are as follows:

 

Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 1600MHz 8GB    ASUS Z97-P, Socket-1150

 

Gainward GeForce GTX 970 4GB

 

Fractal Design Define R5 Black

 

Intel Core i5-4590

 

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 2.5" 

 

Seagate Barracuda® 1TB

 

Cooler Master G550M, 550W PSU or  

Corsair CX 500W PSU

 

 

My question is regaring the psu.

 

Im thinking about buying the cooler master, or will i be fine with the corsair? (its on sale)

 

OR, should i buy a "stronger" psu, like 650 or something?

 

Thanks for your time :)

evga supernova is a bit too expensive for me :P

The cheapest RELIABLE 500w PSU. So anything form EVGA, Corsair (except the RM series), XFX, Seasonic, Rosewill, Antec, just to name some.

Alright thanks.

 

However, will the cx500 be enough even if i at a leter point want to buy another ssd to run in raid 0, and a wirless network card?

antec or seasonic 4 you - if u had one more corsair product I would add corsair

 

low = no modular

mid = semi modular

high = full modular

 

u don't need more then 750-760w but as u wish

So i hould go for a 750w?

 

or is the corsair cx500 ok? or should i go for the cooler master 550w?

 

The cx500 has 38amps on +12V i believe and the cooler master has 42 i think.

Isnt that a bit overkill or?
