So im building a computer for my cousin and here are the parts. R9 270x, Fx-6300. ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD,
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive, and im thinking about using a 600 w psu, but is 500w enought if he wants to upgrade anything in the future?

PCPartPicker.com is a great resource to estimate required wattage for components.

a 500w PSu is more than enough, but if he plans to upgrade GPU so I would recommend not to buy extra overkill PSu now, Maybe in future you'll need even bigger PSu. Hope you understand what i'm saying 😉
