I know you probably get these types of questions on a daily basis (and I'm sorry) but I am genuinely lost on what to do regarding how much Watts I need for my build. Iv'e seen a bunch of videos and have used the cool master calculator but it didn't take into account the fact that I'm over-clocking and I would genuinely appreciate a humans opinion on how many Watts I need and if anyone could help me I would be truly grateful.

CPU: Intel i5-4690K

GPU: GTX Geforce 960 

Mother Board: ASRock Z97 Anniversary 

CPU Fan: CoolMaster Hyper 212X 

Ram: HyperX Fury 

Hardrive: 1TB Western Digital blue 

Thank you in advance.

350W with overclocking. 500W is generally comfortable buy since it will last you a gpu upgrade or two.

Spoiler

12700, B660M Mortar DDR4, 32GB 3200C16 Viper Steel, 2TB SN570, EVGA Supernova G6 850W, be quiet! 500FX, EVGA 3070Ti FTW3 Ultra.

im seeing 320w MAX at full load OC so 400w+ to leave you a bit of room and because at that low of a wattage psus are not usually high quality

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Don't get a Corsair CX as they are mediocre. Something like an XFX Pro 550W would be a good cheap option.

Just don't get a CX. Overpriced, mediocre making for an all round poor PSU.
