First Time building a pc

Hi,

Please help me out on deciding the powersupply. I am not sure if 650 is overkill.

The PSU at 650W is probably a bit overkill, a 550W would do nicely, but with that build, with overclocking involved, it would most likely be a safe 'Overkill', for a dollar or two extra, you could swap to a EVGA Supernova G2 650W, but the PSU you selected is just as good, or really similar.

It depends on your comfort zone, as well as if you're thinking about SLI in the future?

I would stay with the 650W if I was you, so its not a bad choice, most likely good, especially with headroom, that is always the better choice. This PSU will stay with you for a long time, hopefully, as it is high quality and with 650W it provides enough headroom for 'Most' builds.

Edit: Even if you was to get a 550W PSU, you'd be saving about $10? So for the extra $10 you may as well get a 65W PSU.

Thank you so much! I can't find an EVGA PSU here in my country so I just looked for the ones on the shop's list. Maybe not thinking about SLI but a GTX1080 is the path I am looking forward in the future.

In that case, that PSU is perfectly fine, for SLI I believe you'd need something with a higher wattage, but I'm not too sure.

The 650W PSU has enough headroom that there is definitely nothing to worry about, and you should be perfectly fine to go ahead and use it. Not too sure on the gold-rated corsair PSUs, only ever had the 550W G2 Supernova, but yeah. If it's gold rated, it most definitely going to be good, especially from a brand like Corsair.

I'm going to make another suggestion, instead of a 250GB SSD, I would say get a 500GB SSD, as the extra 250GB for around $30-50 is worth it, and you have more room to add some of your most favorite games on there.
