I typically use PCPartPicker, and for Europe, I'll generally refer to the German PCPartPicker, so de.pcpartpicker.com to look up prices.

I would recommend going no less than this:

Corsair CXM 550W: €69.98, 5 year warranty
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/3hkwrH/corsair-power-supply-cp9020102na

This one is a little more, but a slightly higher quality model, and 650W, so more headroom for possible future upgrades:
Corsair Vengeance 650W: €74.90, 5 year warranty
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product...onze-certified-atx-power-supply-cp-9020112-de

This one's definitely higher quality, but costs more:
Seasonic Focus 550W Fully Modular: €87.79, 10 year warranty

If it's as easy for you to get...

The PCIe does not go to the motherboard.

There is an 8-pin (or sometimes called 2x4-pin) CPU connector. Some boards use only a single 4-pin for the CPU, but I think yours is the full 2x4-pin.

You will have to look at the video card to see if it needs a single 8-pin PCIe connector, or an 8-pin AND a 6-pin PCIe connector (some require only one, some require both).

20+4 for the motherboard. One SATA power connector for each HDD or 2.5" SSD.

Whatever you do, DO NOT skimp on the PSU - you want a high quality unit that will protect your components. A low quality one, even if with a high wattage rating, can possibly cause damage. See the first link in my sig for recommendations. There are a LOT of bad PSUs out there.


What country are you buying in?

If it's as easy for you to get it from other European countries than just Germany, it might be worth checking the prices from PCPartPicker in France, Spain, Poland, etc.

Go to this page: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/products/power-supply/#sort=price&m=11&A=550000000000,2000000000000
Then choose a different country from the upper-right selector.
Make sure Corsair and Seasonic are both still checked off.
Just above the list, and to the right, is a search filter, enter the following in there:
cx|vengeance|tx|rm|hx|ax|focus|prime

If you see a CX, make sure it has (2017) next to it. You want to avoid the older ones.
