Hello all just a quick question, how big of a power supply do you recommend for the following build.

- MSI B250M Bazooka Motherboard

- Seagate FireCuda 2TB Desktop SSHD

- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB

- Intel Core i5 6500

- Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4

 

P.S Thinking of going with the Thermaltake Versa H23 Mid Tower case with a 500w power supply. Will this be enough wattage and can I upgrade later on with this much wattage.

 

If there is anything wrong with this build pls let me know

Brand means nothing. Only the model matters.

CX450M if you're on a budget.

 

G3 SuperNOVA 550 watt if you want something very high quality.

It's likely a shit unit since. A. it's bundled with a case for a low price and B. Thermaltake's lower-end units are awful.

 

Get something of better quality, even for a 1050 Ti. An EVGA 500B should do fine.

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