Recommended PSU Wattage

[cpres75]

I am trying to determine what wattage I should be getting, I was looking at 430 but I am unsure about growth of future components. I have tried the websites however most ask for all parts and I am unsure what I will get. I won't be using this for gaming and I have no plans for overclocking.

Right now I have selected the Intel i5 6500 processor and the Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI Motherboard.

I plan on also getting an SSD, SATA HDD, and Blu Ray player.

Down the line I plan on getting a video card (Low end since I won't be gaming) and maybe a few other components.

I am looking at Corsair Builder or MX series,

I was trying to stay around $50 but if I need to pay more to avoid issues that is fine.

Any assistance is appreciated.

MX series of what? Anyways, don't get Corsair CX - low quality. Everyone always tends to go straight toward Corsair CX at first since it's always the first thing that pops up but just don't. For you, a 450W XFX Pro will do. Same with a 520W Seasonic M12ii. Or a 550W XFX power supply.

Thanks. I was trying to find this online and you helped out. I was looking at the Seasonic M12ii but this is an even better price.
