Over Working PSU

[Thi__Thi_]

So I am building a PC and I tried this PC calculator thing. It says I need 418W to power everything. If I were to buy a 430W PSU, would it be overworked at all? Or do I need to buy a bigger wattage one?

That would be pushing it. I would say go at least 500w. Just because it is rated at 430w doesn't mean it can handle near peak power at all times. I would go for at least 500w, maybe 600w, so you also have room for an upgrade in the future.
Good luck
