Which PSU for this configuration??

[Narwhal001]

Hi guys,
this is the configuration i'm building:
CPU: i5 6600k
HEAT: CM Hyper 412s
MB: ASRock z170 Pro 4s
GPU: Gtx 970
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4Gb
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1Tb
SSD: (Not choose yet)
PSU:????

I really don't know the wattage required from this configuration. From the Cooler Master PSU Calculator the result is 402w, can i trust this result?
What you think about the XFX 550W? Is it good enough?

EVGA G2/GS 550 W

XFX TS series 550 W is a good one too.

I would get an EVGA 650w G2, have you bought these parts yet? If not, then I would change a couple of things.

great price right now on this evga b2 750w unit at $57

enough power for the system and a second 970 later if you ever wish to go there. don't really need this much power but it is a great psu for a great price right now. bonus is no rebate on it, just a good old price drop.

I haven't bought anything yet, what would you change?

What is your total budget for the PC?

What is your total budget for the PC?

900/1000€ at the most

With that budget, no need to change much I believe. Here is an edited build:

The problem with most of these components is that they're more expensive in europe (an example: the cryorig is almost 70€).

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Is it actually better than the AsRock Pro 4s?

 

[rohitbaran]

The Gigabyte board offers more I/Os including USB C, is SLI cappable but only has 7 phase power for the CPU.
Asrock Pro 4s is not SLI capable, meaning no possibility of sticking another GTX 970 in the future to increase the longevity of the platform. It does not have USB C. It has 10 phase power for the CPU though, which means it should fare better at overclocking.
