Quick power supply question!

[briovaz]

hi,
i calculated the power needed to my rig using the antec psu calculater. it said that i only need 547w power supply to run my rig. now im thinking to buy a 600 w power supply. will it fry my rig because its more than the recommended power supply? please help. thanx in advance!

No! the more power the better underpowered is usually where the trouble begins.

Nice!
Look for a case with good airflow from Antec or CoolerMaster.
I don't know your budget or taste but here's some case suggestions that could also accommodate future builds comfortably.

Antec,Corsair,Seasonic,and XFX offer reliable quality psu's.
You could get by with a 450-500W unit but it's more cost effective to spend a little more and buy something you can grow into and keep longer.
A 600-650W would be more then enough and allow for future expansion such as a second or more powerful gpu.
