I want to know what kind of power supply I will need for a new build.

 

The PC will feature: 

 

  • Intel Core i5 4460
  • EVGA GeForce GTX 960
  • 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
  • Kingston HyperX Fury (2 X 4GB)

I know it should be somewhere between 300 and 500 watts, but that's it.

How many watts would I need and would you recommend a particular PSU?

 

 - Thanks

Just go with 500.

Lower than that then you'll run into crap quality PSUs.

500 is fine. It will give you some breathing room.

NONONONONONNONOONNONO DO NOT BUY IT

You should be getting something of better quality. Check out the link in my sig for more info on good PSUs.

That would work.

Not well or for very long.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
