You mean one that obviously is powerful enough? That build pulls roughly 400w maximum. Swapped it to a better 450w

I know the S12G have a 20% overload but I'd prefer a bit of headroom

It already has headroom. That build hits roughly 400w peak, but will realistically max out at around 370w-380w.

As you can see, it peaks at 400w during gaming and 300w stressing...

Same story goes here, it peaks close to 300w where if you were stressing your CPU at the same time with a 400-450w PSU..it could blow...

It's an S12G - higher end platform which can supply 500W without giving in but it's still overloading

That is literally already full-build. Read thoroughly. On tom's under "torture" it uses 254w.

That's at stock - factor in an OC since if you don't OC, might as well buy a R9 Nano and have 175W of power draw

For fuck sake get off the 212 Evo bandwagon already... Better coolers have been out for a long time now.

It does but an aftermarket one is also a good investment - though I'd advise getting an extra 20$ and bumping it up to an i5 6500 just to have better longevity (1GHz difference ain't exactly small)

That build peaks at 400w in a torture test. But here you go. That PSU is similar to the Rosewill Fortress 650, but uses better caps.

But no 16GB of RAM...jokes , that's a very good build for the price...

Oh I am as well, but going with the seasonic one put me $2 over budget. That PSU is still pretty good.

It's doable by going with a haswell refresh i5 and a slightly different PSU, but I honestly didn't think it was worth it.

You can get the cpu at microcenter for $30 cheaper
