How much power do u need?

[Littlehunger]

Okay so I am going to build a computer for gaming, and I've got somewhat all of the parts I want, except the Power Supply, so how do u count how much power do u need?

[Samdb]

Well, what parts do you have?

[joelthezombie15]

What parts are you getting?

[crazystorm13]

you could put them in to pcpartspicker there is a watt counter in the top right.

[Littlehunger]

heres the list:

 

Processor: AMD FX-8530

 

Graphics card: Palit Nvidia Geforce gtx 650 Ti Boost 2GB

 

Motherboard:Asrock 970 extreme4, Am3+ (or Something better, depends on the budget)

 

And some other hard drives and stuff

i always recomend

or when single card GPU - CPU 600W tops (exceptions GTX690 & HD7990 stuff)

dual GPU 750W or 850W except when lower then 660 SLI or HD7770 CF

[M-ursu]

125w+110w+(50w)=275w

So anything over 300w

[Appelzaadje]

Ow and imo a PSU is no place to be cheap take 80+ bronze imo as a verry minimum and take a trusted brand IMO things like antec, corsair, seasonic, XFX or something like that.

and if u want a realy good revieuw of a PSU u intend to buy search for it at

[Appelzaadje]

125w+95w+(50w)=260w

So anything over 300w

so a 600w prolly best since PSU tend to work most efficient at 50% load

[M-ursu]

Yep, but 600w is overkill so i would go max 500w.

(Idle load is max 100w)

THanks all:D

Haha ow yhea my bad forgot about idle XD

[mgsstar]

THanks all:D

I would recommend the Corsair GS 600 2013 edition as your psu.

Power supplies are most efficient between 20-80% load.  They are designed to run most efficient past 50%.  The calculator the OP linked is pretty spot on as well.  My recommendation for PSU is in the power supply section: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/39116-pcbudgetsolutions-gaming-pc-buying-guide-ver-i/

A cx430 would do.
