My current build uses 400 but I have a 750 watt psu. I know its overkill but im putting beter cpu's and gpu's in it later so I will need it later on. Otherwise I would've gotten 450 watt. Also check the certificate. --- End quote --- so should i just get some 20 bucks 450w power supply? |

I've heard that PSUs run at peak efficiency at around half power input. So you should aim for twice what you're currently using to maximize efficiency. |
