Hello! I'm having a really hard time choosing the right PSU for my pc...I've seen various contradictory info everywhere and it's overwhelming :(

So,I've used that calculator to see how much power my pc needs, ok so far. But here in the forum there is a post talking exactly about this and with a link to a page that lists graphics cards and the recommended wattage for each (mine is a R9 390 strix). And there is the problem, the calculator says a 500w+ is ok, tis site says 700w+...I live in brazil and these things here are very very expensive (and hard to find),so I need something not too expensive, don't know what to buy :(

I picked a psu between those two numbers from a good brand/line (I believe), but it's not modular/semi modular, which sucks but ok. But will it be enough?

here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6HkyP6

Thank you for the help!

Dont cheap out on the power supply it is the only part in your whole system that can take the whole PC with it if it fails. Get a EVGA GS G2 P2 T2 or PS Power Supply.

 

ANY XFX SeaSonic and SuperFlower power supplies will also be very amazing choices. You chose a EVGA B Series which isn't meant for high end systems like the one you are getting :D Have fun.
