Hello guys, pretty new to this computer building thaang. Im stuck in choosing the right psu for my current and first build. 

Who ever pitches in gets a free air guitar! c;

Specs:

Fx 8350 black edition 

8 gigs of ddr3 ram

h110 cooler

970 sli krait edition mobo

and I just purchased a Msi R9 390 for $200 of a guy on CL. (was that even a good deal?? lol)

 

Heres my estimated power consumption staring off pcpartspicker : http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jXtsYr  (514w)

 

Ive done a my fair amount of research on the topic but i haven't found a concrete answer.

Box says to at least run a 750W PSU but other forums have said that even a 500w psu would be fine.

i currently only have a rosewill 450w PSU.

I dont plan to OC anything on the Mobo right now, but maybe in the future when I get a better one. So defiantly in the market for a PSU for the long run.

I just want to know your guys opinion on this. Please shine some light on this poor soul...  

as a fist time user of this forum. I thank you in advance. <3

Get the EVGA 650Watt GQ Although I'd get a different CPU.

will my current cpu cause problems? :o

It's a bottleneck to the 390 to say the least. Anyways, an EVGA 650W GQ/GS/G2 or 750B2 could work you well.

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