Hi all,

I want to know how much power do i need with a setup like this so i can get a suitable PSU

Intel 4770k
Asus z87 pro
32GB (8x4) Crosair Vengeance Pro @ 1866
SAPPHIRE TOXIC R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 WITH BOOST

Seidon 240m

Plextor M5S 256G x2

WD green 1TB (7200 rpm i think, its from my current rig)

1 Standard cass fan (120mm)
1  LED fan Standard (80mm)

1 High performance LED fan (120mm)

and the 2 that comes with the seidon 240m

 

Thanks! 

 

Edit: Looks like i'll settle for a 700-800 PSU. Thanks for all your answers!

dat title :P

looks like 650w would do you good, pretty sure it can power all of those things with enough outputs on the PSU, unless you want to power fans directly through the PSU which you could remedy by using the motherboard fan headers

550W is enough for any modern single-CPU and single-GPU configuration.

As the others have said, 500-600w will be just fine. Also I can't help but ask: what will you be doing with this PC?

Also: make sure to look at the rail configuration of any PSU, especially if you intend on cutting it close

 

450W is plenty, even 350w is enough.

Weeeel, yes, but no. If it were a pre built system with no ability to OC or anything like that, I'd agree that it could be done, but all the fans and stuff he'll be putting in there... everything adds up... I would never do it...

650W-750W is what you need.

Why?

 -> You computer won't consume anywhere near that. So why get it? you ask.

 -> A PSU is at the most efficient when at 50% load, meaning the heat it produces will be minimal, and doesn't waste much power doing it's job.

 -> Also, it's just a few dollars more or the same price even, as lower wattage. As you consume what you need, why not?

 -> Any good brand PSU will be reliable and cause you no trouble. They are very well build.

 

What I recommend also is a PSU with modular cables. This allows you to have a clean inside, making it easier to clean, and also won't have useless wires that abstract air flow.
