what psu to pick

[PC Amateur]

I will be building a new PC and I will be using a Gigabyte GTX960 Gaming 1 with 4gb of vram. it uses 2 six pins and I will be using a aio cpu cooler and intel core i7 6700k but at the stock speed at the start. will over clock it after a bit. I need help with choosing the psu.

what is the max budget of the PSU?

Do this!

 

1.) Calculate the wattage draw of your components using websites like this :http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/

 

2.) Choose a power supply that will be most efficient based on your estimate pc wattage. for example,

 

this RM850i will reach almost 93% efficiency on system load of 50%. Meaning on this 850watt PSU, I can be most efficient if I had a system that draws  425watt (50% of 850) during normal use.

 

that's how you choose the most efficient PSU for your system.

That system will hit around 220W under load so have no worries about wattage. I'd say check out the EVGA B2, GQ, GS, G2 and Antec HCG/Seasonic M12/G-series
