How much Watt does my psu need?

Berosar

I use a desktop motherboard, i5-6600 cpu, 2x4gb memory, 1 nvidea gtx1060, one 120gb ssd and 1tb ram, dvd-rom optical drive, standard mouse and keyboard, i use ports to connect headset and keyboard. 

1 80mm fan. and a 24 inch monitor. i game a lot (4 hours a day maybe less maybe more).

 

I used sites like coolermaster to calculate cpu but they give something different every time. I think theres quite a difference in 250w and 650 w so thought i'd ask.

I would consider anything sensible above 400 watts. At least 80+ bronze, and from a reputable company.

For a PC like this i'd go with a gray label CX 550M

In terms of just wattage, 250-300W is plenty. As for a decent PSU, the Pure Power 10 ≥400W, Vengeance in any wattage and CX450/CX450M should be the cheapest.

Which one? If it's the Hive, Arc, Glacier, or Capstone G, you shouldn't really get it. As I said, Pure Power 10 ≥400W, Vengeance in any wattage and CX450/CX450M

 No, everything Thermaltake has that isn't at least 80plus Gold isn't worth it.


Why do you keep on ignoring our recommendations?!
Why don't you just stick with it?!

There aren't that many cheapish PSU on the Market!!

if you want to make sure put all of your parts into the pc part picker selector tool.

it'll tell you how much it will need. but anyway you should only need a cxm550 grey label

Please get a CX450/CX450M or be Quiet! Pure Power 10 or skip getting a PSU and wait until you have the funds for a better PSU.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
