Planning on upgrading my motherboard and GPU in my current system. My GPU right now is a Gtx 650. This only needs one 6 pin so i have a low wattage CX430. My new system specs will be -
Case - H440
CPU - FX 6350
Motherboard - MSI 970 Gaming
GPU - MSI R9 280
Ram - Kingston 8GB 1333mhz
SSD - Corsair Force 3
HDD - WD re4
Cooler - Dark rock pro 2
According to Pc Part Picker this should be about 439w. Im guessing i could use my 430w but it would be under full strain 24/7. Can anyone tell me what wattage i would need and any actual PSU's you would recommend? Thanks
 
Solution
550-600W PSU should do it. 430W is not enough for that.

Brands to look for would be XFX, seasonic, EVGA, Corsair. Check the PSU tier list.
