Question First Desktop

[i76700hquser]

Hi there, perhaps i'm getting for free some desktop parts on August. But since it's my first build, i'm thinking of the psu watts.
How much watts i need?
Specs:
I5 4590
GTX 460
2x4GB RAM DDR3
MSI H81(will buy it myself)

Thanks.

Any decent quality 450w or above should be fine. Try to stay within Tier B...

How about a 2hix jet 450w? Found it used it comes with the case which is pretty good.

I'd skip on that....

Go for one of the 550W Focus Gold models (after you click the link above, type "focus" without quotes in the search box at the top right of the list). Gives you a little extra room if you want to upgrade the video card later, for only a couple of bucks more than the 450W version.

The Focus Plus Gold is around the same price as well, but only after a mail-in rebate.

The PSU is NOT something you want to gamble on, since it runs everything and can take out other components if it goes bad.

Not worth it. Get something better from the Tier List.
