What PSU should I get?

[Bilal Ahmed99]

I am going to build a gaming Pc in next few months. My budget for psu is low to medium. The specs of my pc are

Cpu :Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz

Cooler :Cooler Master Hyper 212x

Board :Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3

Ram :G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

HDD :Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB

GPU :MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V

Case :Thermaltake Chaser A31 ATX Mid Tower

I know that power required by this build is no more than 500-550 Watts but i cant decide on any good psu because i don't know any.Can you recommend a good quality psu.
I don't plan on doing SLI or multi GPU setup. I may or may not OC my system but can you recommend a psu for both conditions? I will add some extra fans on case but they dont take much power so anyway....
I will be eternally grateful.😀

P.s this is my first build and I'm still a noob in these kind of things.

The Seasonic 620w M12II Bronze is a solid option:

Another possibility would be the XFX 550w Bronze:

I recommend getting a high quality, 500-600 watt PSU. Corsair RM550 would be a good choice.

If you can afford this psu it is one of great quality. It's a very high rated fully modular 80+Gold power supply. It's made by Seasonic the best PSU manufacturer in the business. The psu is very important so you don't wanna skimp on it http://

Before i was going to buy crosair CS 550W 80+ gold but someone said it was not good. What do you say?

The 650 watt will give you more wiggle room but i will look at that psu and get an opinion for you.

Corsair CS 550W 80 Plus is a good choice go for it.

If you overclock get the 650w.

@yobo520 sure. Please do it.

@SR-71 Blackbird's thanks. Btw how much wattage does OC need? Do i really need to OC? I mean i can get good performance without it for some time till games become too demanding.

I would buy a 650 watt psu it gives you way more wiggle room. Overclocking will boost your performance once your hardware becomes obsolete or old. Get the 650 watt

 

[yobo520]

Also you don't want your budget on the psu to be low. It's a very important part in your system and I can not stress that enough. Get the 650 watt you will not regret it one ounce
