    PSU question

    So, the setup is like this:
    ASUS P7P55
    INTEL Core i5 760
    GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460
    KINGSTON VALUERAM KVR1333D3N9K2/4G
    WD Caviar Black 1TB + INTEL X25-M SSD 120GB

    So, I have a question. Would a 500W PSU be enough for this? Online calculators say that even 400 would be enough, but some people say I should use at least 600...

    Thing is, there's a pre-built box (except SSD) with a nice lower price but it has 500W PSU.

    I see, so 500 is kind of borderline. Well, I'm not really going to upgrade it in next 2-3 years but I'll keep that in mind.

    well you should ask from what brand the PSU is cause if the PSU is not good it might damage your parts

    Well i suggest you pick the parts on your own you can save like 25% maybe more ive seen premade builds going for 700 euro while they worth max 450
