400w shd be more than enuf.. But just 4 safety and future considerations get a normal zebby 500w for .5k

500W is minimum anyone should get these dayz. Coz if you use a multi-meter then you'll see that all those 400W PSUs deliver actually only about 300W!! Only quality ones like cooler master/antec etc. deliver true power.

But even Coller master ones max bout 65~70 % efficiency.
So the cheaper ones wii have bout 50~60% efficiency.
CM igreen has bout 75% efficiency.
