It is a Tier 3 PSU. The wattage is going to be enough and a Tier 3 isn't something i would worry too much about for a build like yours. However if you have not already bought the PSU i would recommend a Tier 2 PSU.

Check out the link i sent you.
Go to the website you will purchase the PSU at and check which one is available in your country.

I would recommend XFX TS 550W or any Tier 2 or Tier 1 EVGA PSU's.
Seasonic M12II or S12II 520W is excellent.

Here's a tier 2 Antec PSU from theitdepot India Rs. 7755

You don't need a 5500w PSU
You need a good quality 400w+

I would recommend 450W as the minimum.

The seasonic s12 or eco 430w will power it easily.

You can't say 450w minimum ,its model specific.

For example the antec vp450 only has a 12v rail of 360w.
The seasonic m12 430 has the same 360w 12v output.

The seasonic eco 430w has a 12v rail of 396w (the highest of a 430w psu I've seen)
The corsair cx430 (not saying buy it) has a 12v rail of 384w.

I would go with the seasonic 520w if in budget for the headroom - but yes either of the seasonics will run the 4690+gtx 960 easily mate ( the eco only has a single 6 pin connector)

 

[rpgskitzo]

are u sure that 430w psu will run i5 4690 and gtx 960 zotac 2gb ???

 

[madmatt30]

Editedcthe above post but yes mate - saying that there is really nothing wrong with the antec vp550 you picked originally if you may in the future upgrade the GPU again (just steer clear of the cheap corsairs)

 

[rpgskitzo]

i will not upgrade my gpu
will antec vp 550 will be stable for gtx 960 zotac 2gb overclocking ?

 

[madmatt30]

^ seeing as it has a 12v rail of 540w - which means you gave literally 200w clear headroom mate then yes.
You will barely even stress it with your components.

 

[rpgskitzo]

it has 45 amperage as kkaw posted
if 24 can handle gtx 970
then 45 can easily handle gtx 960 😀
