Any recommendations will be appreciated.
A 700w PSU would be more than enough for your build.
If you want something cheaper with a high efficiency but without cable sleeving or modular support take a look at the cooler master gx lite 700w.
I would get a 550 to 750 watt psu depending on how you think you will be upgrading. I would reccomend a seasonic G550 or G650
Yea, I would probably pick a 600-700w PSU for that build. You can get a the AX760i if you really want that, but you don't need that much wattage.
A 650 or 600W PSU should be fine. The CPU shouldn't hog nor the GPU.
This might be overkill, but follow me on this. Most power supplies are at their most efficient at around 50-60% load. Knowing what your max load is, my guess is around 400-450w i would suggest an 850w psu with 80+gold rating. This should give you around 92% efficiency if you get something like a Seasonic, Xigmatek, Corsair, Thermaltake, PC Power and Cooling. Go with the one that looks best for your case, you never go wrong with these guys.
I would get the corsair 860i because it is more than enough wattage and it is 80 plus platinum. I only say axi because you prefer it.
Ok thanks I think I will go for a ax760i as it is the cheapest AXi and I have never had a problem with Corsair in the past.
