How big power supply needed?

[Olle118]

My specs will be the following:
i5 4690k
Asus GTX 960 2gb
Asus Z97-A

And my question is will my 500 Watt power supply be able to handle these components?

Depends on the psu quality. A good quality unit is plently while a low quality unit could fry the system.

Yes prob ,however the closer you are to the max psu capacity, the more load you put on the psu. The more load means a shorter psu lifespan which could damage components. Maybe go for a 750w corsair they are very reliable

What makes think just because its a corsair its reliable? The budget corsair units use low quality caps and are not reliable.
