Hey everyone,

Currently have a corsair 850W plus bronze modular PSU

In the middle of downsizing my rig as I don't use it to game anymore,

Have no intention of dual-wielding GPU's anymore and going to be getting a 350D case next month,

May overclock my CPU at some point but not a necessity,

Can I get away with a decent 550/600W PSU? Needs to modular though,

Any recommendations would be great,

Thanks!
 
Thanks for the input guys,

If in future I want to go to a Skylake 'k' processor and a better graphics cards would I be better suited going for a 650W? I don't mind spending an extra 10/15 if it will future proof it a bit as I'm sure down the road I will probably go this way,

Thanks!
 
I know it will consume the same amount of power as it is system dependant, just thought that maybe a new PSU wouldn't go amiss seeing as this one is getting to around 5 years old now,

Any rule of thumb for PSU lifespans?
