Hello, I just wanted to ask how much wattage my PC will be using up. I haven't bought my PC yet so... yeh 😛

CPU:AMD FX-8320 8-Core

CPU Cooler:Corsair Hydro H55 CW-9060010-WW

Ram:Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Non ECC CL10 1600 MHz

GPU:NVidia Asus GTX 760 OC 2GB

HDD:Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue WD10EZEX

MotherBoard:Asrock 990FX Extreme3 GLan Audio Raid

 
Solution
550-650W is enough for single gpu setup.
Brands: Antec, Coolermaster V series, Corsair (not CX or CS series), Seasonic or XFX
I wouldn't really recommend the H55 cpu cooler. An air cooler would perform better and is much cheaper


The thing is, i'm planning on overclocking and i don't know of any air cooler for that.
Can you maybe recommend one?
 


This thing is a monster when it comes to cooling and it's really quiet too: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14

For the PSU, this is what I'd recommend (made by Seasonic = one of the best): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

For a more premium cpu cooler:

I'll be using Zalman Z11 Plus
but I'm still in the making of it so it might change
 


Alright, thank you for recommending some parts and i'll think about the case 😛
