Power Supply for my computer?

[lucas444]

Hey guys, Im building a computer, but I dont know what power supply to get. All the calculators I used online tell me way different numbers, so I was hoping i can get some info based on the parts I posted

http://


CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus H97-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card
Case: Thermaltake Versa H25 ATX Mid Tower Case
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

also, if I can get some feedback on a good SSD as well as motherboard, that would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

The EVGA GS 550W is enough.
Yes the SSD is fine.
Build is fine.

Yeah that is a good PSU - Rated Tier 1- which is good. This is associated with quality of the actual components the are used to build the PSU itself.

I will say that with the current build 550W is sufficient -but if you plan to add more GFX cards (or other demanding PCIe devices) you may have to upgrade.

700-750W seems to be the recommended minimum wattage for SLI/Cross-fire setups, just a thought.!

Although as I said for this build your are solid as rock.

thank you my man.

ANother question if you dont mind: the asus h97 plus mobo is sold out everywhere I look, is there a comparable one I can get, or would it be for worth it to wait for it to come back?

That should draw less then 300W. A 500-550W should be plenty. Due to efficiency and low idle draw I'm a big fan of running lower wattage PSUs over higher ones. I'd only get a 750W if you know for sure you are getting a second card.

Second lane is only x4 , not worth 2 cards get the 550w GS , plenty of power , link to H97 Plus up a few posts.

Great PSU it's in my son's setup.

I love ASUS motherboards - I've only had one go bad and that was from lightning strike/no UPS= my fault! I've been using them for a decade and have never been disappointed - I would wait! Depending on how long? There are other good ASUS boards. Gigabyte would be my second go to, they usually make solid stuff.

And yes just to clarify, 550W is plenty for one card and your current build. I was just mentioning the SLI/Xfire stuff in case it was something that you were possibly planning on doing really soon or at all.

id future prof your rig and go for a little more power in case you decide to chuck another card in there in the future
750 wat
