How many watts do I need for my build (The PSU)

[krisdj]

I am getting an Intel i5-4460 and an EVGA gtx 750 ti, how many watts will I need? I currently am currently planning to get a Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply. Will this be enough? Thanks

P.S. I am on a budget

what is your budget, im sure that there are better quality psu's out there

You have good components so I'd definitely recommend matching them with a quality PSU as a bad quality PSU can kill your system. Here are some recommendations:
Seasonic S12-II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Wired Power Supply (£48.06)
XFX ATX 550 Power Supply (£63.90)

Both of the above will be fine with respect to wattage required and they are made excellent manufacturers

Ok, here is my entire build, I am just thinking about if my psu is correct in order to function well with all my parts:
CPU Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked Video Card

Case Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

All this is 570 dollars but I really don't want to get past 600

The PSU I currently have is 430W but pcpartpicker.com says that my build requires 252W

this is a better build for gaming with a good powersupply.

the psu is 750w (that's prettymuch overkill) but the price is almost the same as a 500w psu

I understand that but that Corsair PSU isn't the best and it's entry level. It will definitely do the job but if you can afford a seasonic I would definitely choose that
