What power supply do i need?

[maniakas122]

Hello everyone,

I've built my own PC but i am not sure what power supply i should use for it.
My specs are:
AMD FX-6350
AMD Radeon RX480 sapphire nitro 4GB
Corsair vengeance 8gb ddr3 (1600mhz)
Asus M5A78L-M/usb3 motherboard
1TB Western digital blue HDD


Im not sure if i need to mention anything else like fans in the case or CPU fan.
Thank you for your help!

It's quite a power consuming build so I'd so go with 500W minimum quality PSU.

Well i am using some cheap 500w power supply right now with bronze category, but my computer sometimes restarts because of the lack of power (atleast i get message which says something about power when computer restarts).

So maybe you can suggest me some exact company to use which produces high quality power supplies?

This is something which is never stressed enough.
NEVER go cheap on the power supply because your system is living on

I personally use https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1
This is a high quality PSU, it's rated 4.9/5 stars by the 60 reviewers that reviewed it.

I was looking into these EVGA PSU but the thing is that i cannot buy theese in my country. I live in Lithuania and not even a single company is selling EVGA psu here.

What about cooler master or Be quiet?

What about Corsair?

Yes i was also thinking about this one. So you're sure that 550w is ENOUGH? Because i am planning to add 8gb additional ram into my PC.

More than enough.

It's a gold quality PSU which makes it VERY reliable.
A 550W bronze or less PSU is very bad.

The newer cxm series are good PSU's.
Even the 450m has plenty of power for that build.

Gold / Bronze has nothing to do with reliability.
Corsairs CSM are gold rated and still far far less reliable and durable than a bronze XFX

The Corsair RMx is an excellent choice if you can afford it
The 550W Corsair CXm is a good choice if the RMx is out of your price range

 

[maniakas122]

Thank you guys for advices I guess i will look into CXm

 

[Isokolon]

Make sure to go for a CXM with grey letters on the unit
The older units had green letters and they're pretty poor

 

[maniakas122]

Ok, thank you

I voted this up except for this last part which is not true,quality parts and design makes a good psu,not energy efficiency.
