i need help with PSU

[TheSorrow55]

my spec

i7-4790k "no over clock"
16gb
msi rx480 8gb
5 fans
hdd black 1tb


do i need 600w ? or 500w

cooler Master: Power Supply Calculator

Load Wattage: 394 W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 444 W

but i don't trusted + im not sure

Those calculators usually base the estimation on 90-100% load of all components which is nowhere near normal usage so a solid 500W PSU is all you need. However by getting a higher output PSU gives you the headroom for future expansion, and also to compensate the inevitable degradation of the hardware.

Bronze rated, or better, you can get whatever one you think you want for 500+ watts, but I would recommend cheaper one you can find, but if it's only few bucks apart for 100watts, or more, then why not, it's up to you what you think.

Also keep in mind to check the quality of the PSU, as that's very important, if you're unsure about the PSU, post the exact model, and brand, and someone will reply to you.

You can check this out, I recommend tier 1 - 3, mostly EVGA, Sea Sonic, etc...

When choosing the wattage of your PSU, you want to get one that has more power output capacity than the maximum power your hardware will use. This is because PSUs are most efficient around 50% load with the efficiency tapering off quickly at high loads on lower end PSUs. It's also a good idea because good PSUs can last you 10+ years, so you want to buy something that will last you multiple builds that may use more power than your current build. All that being said, I would recommend you buy a higher end one from Seasonic, Corsair or EVGA instead of Cooler Master with ~600 watts capacity. The price difference over a 500 watt should be negligible.

i think 600w is enough

I don't know 1STPLAYER that well, I haven't seen enough review for it to judge it for myself. The EVGA alright, but check what I link below.

Feel free to check these out.

I would avoid the 1stplayer PSU. It's not a well-known brand and likely cheaps out on components. The Seasonic Focus and EVGA G3 lines that Dr. Shadow posted are good deals. Don't cheap out on PSU - a good one will last you a decade.
