Power Supply requirement?

[Gouk]

What Watt 🙄 PSU would I need for a system of this calibre? I need to know because the case i am getting already comes with a 300W PSU and a 350W EnerMax PSU costs £45 and that 300W PSU will go to waste. Is it really neccesary to have a 350W PSU in this system or is a 300W sufficient? Thanks 🙂

I would definitely go with the 350 at least. (my opinion)

Go 350. And get one with a bottom inlet, and Antec and Enermax are great brands...so I hear...
