Would a 600W PSU be enough for this build?

I took several calculator tests which recommend over 650W, but I wanted to make sure.

You're good on 600W but which 600W did you plan on buying?

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

I'm kinda confused which one to chose. I was thing about this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KFAFRW6/?tag=xov-20, but I fell like that PSU is too low tier. Any recommendations?

The EVGA B2 is very, very good. No problem with that one.

Ok thanks for the advice. Picking the PSU for my system was making my hair turn white

Well I hope your hair stays in one piece! The EVGA B2/GQ/GS/G2 are very, very good power supplies.

I'm biased because I own it, but I really like the CX750M, it's a little bit cheaper with most of the same features as the EVGA.

I was reading the rest of the posts, the PSU from EVGA Is a great choice, and yeah...  of course 600 watts is just fine.

 

        I have a 650 GS From EVGA and it's running my system great. I even plan to power a 980ti with it in the future, but If I plan to do any overclocking I'll be upgrading.
