How much Watt is enough to power up these including the GPU keep in mind im trying to keep the budget as low as possible, I dont want the cheapest psu out there i want something thats just enough to power it up.

that corsair vx430 has only 32A on +12v rail. 32 x 12 = 384w. get the rosewill capstone 450 or 550 depending on your budget.

capstone 450 has 37A on +12v rail while the capstone 550 has a massive 45.5A on +12v rail. capstone 550 psu can run even an overclocked R9 290X so it gives you futureproofing. both psus are 80 Plus Gold rated for high efficiency. fantastic 7 yr warranty. :thumbsup:

I used that card on a Dell XPS 420 with the Dell 435 power supply, no problems. Since changed the PS to a Corsair CX650.
