What Power Supply?

[ItsMinJunLol]

Hi, I'm pretty much new to custom builds, and I chose all the components which requires about 342 watts of estimated power. I was planning on Corsair RM450, a 450 watt power supply. I don't know if the 342 watt is the max or the min, but I'm not sure if I should buy a power supply with more power. Tell me if you want to know what the components are and if I should get a higher wattage. Thanks.

342 watts is the max unless you have a hella beasting machine. 450 watts is fine for now but you won't have that much neck room for further upgrades.

Don't buy an RM yellow unit, very poor value. The Seasonic M12 should be cheaper and be a better unit for the money you pay.

Can you provide a link to the store you are able to buy from? Your budget?  And your system specification as well will be helpful

I'm using PCPartPicker, and I'll add a screenshot of all the components

And my budget is 2000$, where I've used about 1500$ for the components

Oh gosh, grab a Seasonic X-series if you have a budget that high.

whup, I saw it's 1900$ total so I'm probs going to get the seasonic x 460. I can do with around 10 bux over.

What's the system intended use? You likely could get something better for your money, and you're missing a case.

I overdid with the PSU (it's only $10 more than the 550w model...), but this is something I quickly put together (change it how you see fit or based on other people's input). http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DXHJzy
