Hi guys, just a quick help.
I'm about to build a new budget PC and was wondering if getting a less efficient 500W PSU was advisable over a 450W of the same price.

The options:
CORSAIR VS Series VS500 ( 80+ 500W)
EVGA 450 B1 (80+ BRONZE 450W)

The build:
CPU: Intel Core i5 7500 or 7600
GPU: Radeon R7 360 (from old build)
HD: 5 rotating (3 green) and 1 SSD
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400
MB: GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H LGA1151

So, with this or a similar build, can I stay with the more efficient but only 450W PSU, or will it be better to get the 500W PSU since there's not much difference in efficiency and price is the same?

Thanks in advance.
 




Thanks for the replies, but why aren't they good?
My line of thinking was:
GPU max consumption is 170W
CPU maxes at 115W
so that's 285W Max. therefore I will still have at least another 150W (200W on Corsair's) for RAM, MOBO and HD's which as I understand aren't very demanding.
