PSU rating for 1070

[thoo00]

Hi all, i am intending to buy a PSU for my zotac gtx 1070 Amp Ed. How much rating for my PSU should i buy(is 550W enough?), and any model to recommend?

Not going to SLI, will be matching with bazooka plus mb + i5 6500 processor.

How many HDD? Ssd? Going to Oc?

More than enough. I know a I5 and 1060 300w can le. Your 1070 won't need anything more than 450 imo

if your budget allows go for gold rating, if not sliver is fine. FSP is a good brand.

Get the cheaper one. Both are good

difference between silv and gold is insignificant power savings.
