What kind of wattage do I need?

[baris_]

I used different calculators around the web but got very different results so I want to do a final check.

This gave me a minimum of 508 and a recommended of 558W. Will 550W do or should I just go for 600W at least to be sure.

Antec 1200 (6 LED fans & fan controller)
i7 4770K OR i5 4670K (will overclock and add some voltage)
GTX 970 (will overclock and add some voltage)
2x4GB DDR3 RAM (but I put 4 modules because it is likely I will have to upgrade in a few years and add another 2x4).
1 HDD
1 SSD

Thanks in advance.

550w should be fine. of course this assumes a quality PSU

Yeah, I will look for those recommended in the PSU thread!

Do I have to worry about adding a lot of voltage to my cpu/gpu?

 

[LoganG]

worry about adding voltage? Maybe for the health of your CPU depending on how much you are adding. But even with an OC I think you will be fine with 550w

Yeah, every 0.05 volt is like 7 watt (according to that website). So when I start adding major voltage like 0.1 for cpu and 0.1 for cpu it starts to add up.

Will this do?

You'd be much better off with a Seasonic G-550

Something with 1.21 Gigawatts of output power.

Otherwise you might not be able to get back to 1985
