500W will run the build in my signature. You can get by with 500W, easy.

if you use pcpartpicker it should tell you I recommend using around 100-200 more than pcpartpicker says your system will use

500W will run it just fine (quality PSU that is).

You can get 550W-600W if you want to have more headroom. 750W is just overkill.. you can run 2x R9 390 with it.

Yeah get a G2/GS/S12 600-650W unit.

I literally just said 500W is enough. 650W is plenty.

 

Get an XFX or SeaSonic PSU. Anyone from those brands are excellent.

Yeah I totally agree: 500W is enough. My rig (being a less power efficient one) uses about 500W from the wall under a full artificial load. So assuming I have about 80-85% efficiency which results to my PSU "only" providing about 400W!!! , there is still some room there, BUT I would recommend getting a 650W. You will sit at about half the posiible load resulting in a higher efficiency from your PSU (they have those fancy graphs that usually show you where power efficiency is highest for your PSU, usually being around 50-60%) and therefore lower tempereatures and noise while also having the possibility (although most people never do) to change something to a higher-tier card or something.

No, not at all. Your components will only receive the power they need from your PSU. No more, no less.

You probably shouldn't get loads more wattage than you need, because of the cost, but also because PSUs have an efficiency curve with a peak somewhere in the middleish. Your power unit will work most effectively when it is appropriately matched with components.

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.
