Calculate power supply

[ggaston095]

Hi,

I've got this system

Intel Core 2 duo E7500, 2.93 Ghz
3 GB ram ddr2
Nvidia 450 gts Evga (Needs a 400W PSU, consumes 102 W, 22 amp)
1 HDD, Hitachi (7W on peak)
1 optical drive LG.

(My generic power supply has just broken so I need a new one)

But I want to get one good enough for overclocking the processor (up to 3.5 Ghz?), the graphic card, maybe ram too?

I was between a Cooler Master Elite Power 460w (324W, dual rail +12 18 amp each ) and Cooler Master 500w (360 dual rail +12 18 amp each)

Now, I know the latter is better, but Is it worth the money? I mean, will I be using the extra power?

Update:
I forgot the motherboard
foxconn g31mv

430W Corsair.

You should have a good motherboard to overclock your CPU. Overclocking your RAM won't earn you any real world performance (Maybe 1/2 FPS in BF4).

Cooler Master doesn't make good PSUs in that price range, look at the Corsair CX500 (Recommended) or CX600.

+1 on the Corsair CX power supplies either one would be MUCH better than Cooler Master...

Foxconn is one of the worst motherboard manufacturer according to me and I'm sure a lot of people will agree.

However checking the motherboard's specs I conclude that isn't suitable at all for CPU or RAM overclocking. You may be able to overclock your GPU though.

I can't find that corsair model here.

What about this one?
