Hi,

I've picked up some 2nd hand parts (FX8350, MSI 990FXA-GD65, GTX760) to replace my state-of-the-ark PC (Pentium Dual Core E5300 :eek: , Asus P5W DH Deluxe :eek: , Xpertvision 8800GT with a whopping 512MB :eek:)

My old PSU was a Hiper Type R thingy, which I'm amazed has lasted since I bought it in 2008. I think I should probably retire that and get a new one, but am not sure how to work out what spec I need.

I'm thinking of going Corsair as they seem to be popular on here. Is 430W going to be sufficient, or do I perhaps need 500W?
