So I am looking to build a PC to play CS:GO and maybe some newer titles here and there but mostly CS,and i figured out what i want on a really tight budget.
Build:i5 2400 8gb ddr3 RAM and a 560 Ti,the one with more cuda cores (448) than the regular one(enough for 200 FPS on lower settings in CS,which is what i was aiming for).
Somewhere i've seen that I would need a 550W PSU to power the build,but after i calculated everything in the CM PSU calculator it says that I would need a 500W and I found a solid XFX 500W 80+ Bronze one for a great price.
I didn't plan on overclocking anything.Thanks!
 
That "should" be ok for what you want, but if you looked at a PSU calculator and it says you "need" 500W, then you should probably get a 550W to give you a little wiggle room. I hope that you aren't going to have to spend much on that system, since it is pretty old. It's second generation i5 and the 7th generation just came out. Plus the video card is pretty dated as well. If you are getting it on the cheap and it will do what you want, then more power to you, good luck and game on.
 
It says the load wattage=281,recommended psu wattage=331w and as the PSU it recommends their CM B500 500W PSU so i assumed that a 500w should do it.
Yes considering the prices of PC components in my country it's a great deal,it's incredibly expensive here and I don't plan on using this PC for too long,maybe a year or 2.
