Quick PSU Advice

[nicktrilby]

HI there guys, brand new to the forum so hello, first and foremost!

I signed up to ask a quick question regarding my PSU. Fist off, here's my new build.

MOBO Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
CPU Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3770K (Overclocking to around 4GHz for now)
Cooling Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU HP NVIDIA QUADRO FX580
HHD WD Cavirar Greens 500GB x 2 (RAID 1)
SSD Intel X25-M 80GB x2 (OS Boot drive & Programs)*
RAM 16 GB Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz RAM

*There maybe one more drive added as a Photoshop scratch disk, so take that into consideration if required.

Can I just ask what PSU I should be getting with this? I've used the following tool:

To try and calculate the Watts and it comes out around the 300 mark when over clocking etc... but I just wanted to double check really. My first build in years and never understood the wattage and amps too well.

I figured a Corsair Builder Series CX430 V2 would be enough (430W), but any advice on a PSU would be appreciated.

You will be fine with that psu but i would get this while its on offer.

The CX 430W would be great though if you can snap up the CM 500W modular (link above) while you can.

Thanks for the recommendation. Can I just check how many SSD / HHD the Cooler Master would power? I'm looking to power 4 or MAYBE 5 drives, just wondering if this could handle that?

The corsair seems to have more scope when it comes to hooking up that many drives, but I'm a little unsure.

Not sure if my reply came through, but thanks for the advice, think I've made my choice

Cheers.
