Is a 600W power supply powerful enough for my PC?

[sheepdog2190]

I've input all of my specs on multiple websites, all of which say that my rig will produce around 450-475W. Is a 600W power supply good enough for that? Or would a 750W be better to future-proof it?

a good quality 600w will be ok

if you will upgrade your system in the future it wont be bad to have a 750w power supply. but you should be ok with a 600w power supply.

And what is your PC specifications? I suggest against using calculators as they are accurate and often over estimate. Most single GPU systems use under 350w at a gaming load.

My specs are:
CPU: i5-4690k @4.2Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
4 monitors
1TB Hard drive + 250GB SSD
2 x 4GB DDR3 memory

Here is the print screen of the calculation: http://prntscr.com/g4zj01

Would you say that's overestimated? It's telling me to get a 650W.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from sheepdog2190 : "Is the Corsair VS Series for PSU's good?"

Looking to get a 650W Corsair PSU from the VS series and was wondering if anyone knows if they're any good?

Not really, probably the worst power supply corsair sells. Its better than buying some generic junk off ebay, but I would still recommenced something a bit better. Post you budget for a psu if you want me to recommend something.

Lets stick to THIS thread about which PSU to get ok?

Calculators give really high numbers to cover themselves for junk PSU. The CS/CX/VS is Corsair's budget line. Nothing fancy, but will get the job done. From your parts list I don't see any reason to get a massive 650W PSU. Any QUALITY psu from 450-550W will work fine. I run an i7 and a 200-225W PSU on a 450W PSU. And your setup should need less juice than mine. I'd look for a good 500-550, no need for a 650W.

^ what he said.
A good 450w would run that & I'd rather a good lower wattage unit than a high wattage box o cheap junk like a vs series

Thank you for your info. This is my current PSU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H33SFJU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

While gaming, I recently had an issue where my pc would crash and all my screens would go black, and the sound in-game would loop continuously. I would then need to switch my pc off and on again to fix the issue. My initial thought was that it was some sort of graphics card problem or memory problem, but after reading some threads online some said it may be something to do with the PSU not giving enough power to the components, hence why I've been doing PSU calculations.

My budget is around £50-£70/£75 max. A recommendation would be perfect thank you.

Right, sorry. I'm still getting used to this website. Thank you for your info. My current PSU isn't that great, this is the one I have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H33SFJU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00.

What's funny is the evga is better than the vs650 you were looking at replacing it with !

Probably just go with a s12 620 & be done.

That one looks very trustworthy and it's within my budget. Thank you for your suggestion. I will most likely go with that one, I'd just like to see if anyone else replies with some other suggestions just to be sure.
