So what wattage of powersupply do I need for all this? I have heard various opinions, some saying NEVER skimp on the power supply and to get at least 650W, and some saying I could get by on a 430W power supply. Currently, I have a 500W power supply for this build as a sort of medium, but aiming towards the cheaper side since I am on a 600 dollar budget. So I need a proffesional opinion. Will a 500W power supply work well with this build? Keep in mind I don't really intend to upgrade any time within the next couple years and that I'll probably just build a REAL gaming rig when the time comes.
