What size PSU to buy

[zachthun]

I'm almost ready to buy all the hardware for my first ever gaming pc and I'm not sure if I need to up my power supply. This is my build:

Cpu: intel core I-5 4590

Mobo: asrock z97 extreme 4

Memory: corsair vengeance 8gb (2x4gb) ddr3 - 1600

Storage: pny optima 240 gb ssd
Western digital 1 tb 7200rpm hdd

gpu: sapphire radeon r9 270x

Case: rosewill challenger atx mid tower

Optical: lite-on ihas 124-14 cd dvd

Psu: corsair cx 500w 80+ bronze
certified semi-modular atx

Will 500 watts be sufficient?

3 right now building Z97 NEXT WEEK.

Ordering as I speak.

 

[zachthun]

Do you build and sell them?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

No, I have them in my computer DEN.

 

[zachthun]

In your professional opinion am I being to cheap on this build?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Not even close , your not going to cheap that's for sure.

Been picking and buying my parts the last 2 weeks.

 

[zachthun]

Yeah I've been building and researching for about 3 weeks now and my build now is nothing compared to when I started. I think picking all the parts is so exciting though. I'm amazed on how much there is to know about this stuff. It's no joke.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I love it too , ordered my Noctua Black and Redux fans today , ordered ram , OS also , ordered case yesterday.

 

[zachthun]
