pick something from the top two tiers - 650 watts should be plenty of headroom.

 

EDIT: 550 will probably be plenty as well, but i'm a guy that likes having plenty of headroom.

A good 550w would be plenty. 

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

I don't know what power supply to get I am will get a Sapphire R9 390, a core i5 4460, a 1TB hard drive, 8GB of DDR3 ram.

Check out the PSU whitelist in my signature for a start to see what is available to you.

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

Since it's only 71 SEK / 7.30 USD more, the Cooler Master G650M would be a good unit if you are on a tight budget. It offer good electrical performance, high efficiency for a Bronze unit, low noise due to the relax fan profile, and semi-modularity. https://www.komplett.se/product/795138/datorutrustning/ntaggregat/ntaggregat/cooler-master-g650m-650w-psu

 

The EVGA Supernova 550w G2 is a better performing, better quality unit that the CM GM unit I had mentioned. It also offer full modularity, support for premade individually sleeved cables from EVGA themselves or CableMods, and a switch to toggle between semi-passive cooling and active cooling - making it quieter at lower loads. It also has a 10 year warranty upon registration (I'm not sure how warranty is in Sweden though) https://www.komplett.se/product/852772/datorutrustning/ntaggregat/ntaggregat/evga-power-supply-550w-gold#

 

The Corsair RM550x would also be a good choice in the same price range. Like-wise, it is a better performing / build unit than the CM GM, offer full modularity with support for Corsair's own sleeved cables or from cablemods. It may offer a quieter operation than the G2, as the rifle bearing fan in this unit is less susceptible to bearing noises and the wire fan grille reduce turbulent noises. It doesn't have a switch to toggle between semi-passive and active cooling (it's helpful to see if the fan is actually working). It's offer a short 7 year warranty (which is already long enough, TBH). https://www.komplett.se/product/858085/datorutrustning/ntaggregat/ntaggregat/corsair-rm550x-55w-psu

I have heard a lot of good things about cooler master I think I will go with the Cooler Master G650M. Thanks a lot.
