Picking PSU for my pc

[Joshua Bernhardo]

Hey guys here is my soon to be gaming pc.

Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Western Digital RE2 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Corsair Force LS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

PowerColor Radeon R9 290 4GB PCS+ Video Card

Now all thats left is just picking the power supply, I am confusing whether to go for 500 or 600, bronze or gold those type of thing.

On pcpartpicker says that my estimage wattage is 442W now is this full load or idle?

I have my budget around $75 for PSU.

PS: Also I may install 2-3 more fans in the future, and overclock my CPU

Thanks.

Unless you have a monitor that is more than 1920x1080 I would recommend the gtx 970 for a GPU

The only reason to get a r9 290x is if you are doing high resolution gaming the 290x excels at high rez gaming but if your monitor is 1920x1080 or bellow the gtx 970 would serve you better

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you meant the r9 290 not the 290x but still same concept if you have the budget to get a gtx 970

I don't really have money left to buy 970 I think r9 290 should do the work.
