Need help with picking a PSU

    I have finnaly decided to take the plunge and build my own PC, I have already made up my mind on which GPU and CPU I want(The GPU I picked is a nvidia gtx 660 ti 2GB and the CPU is and AMD FX 6300)
    I want to very lightly over-clock the GPU and do around 20% OC on the CPU.
    I am on a 700 euro budget so I don't want a very expensive PSU.
    I have found a super-flower 550w Amazon for 50 euro on hardwareversand.De.
    Should I go with that or do I need a higher wattage?
    Thanks!
    P.S This i s my first post so go easy on me :P

    How much are you paying for that 660ti?

    The super flower amazon would be fine. Even the 450w model would be fine. I'd probably go for the silver rated be-quiet system power 7 500w.

    Thanks for answering!

    That's a good price for a 660ti.

    What board and cpu cooler are you going for with the 6300?

    Hi again,
    The motherboard I plan to get is an Asus m5a97 evo r2.0 and the cooler is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo.

    I'd probably go for this board if you wanted to save a few quid or the extreme 4 if you want a board with sli support.
