    I am updating my desktop with an z270 and an i5 7660- These will probably need more Power than my i4 7 cpu.
    How do I calculate the power of the PSU, or, does someone know already?

    Thank you

    i have i5 12400f 1060 16gb ddr4 currently, over the yeaars tried many psus untill bought bequiet. they dont use cheapest components so no coil buzzing after few months.
    myself got 750watt version and probably only need 500watt psu 750watt doesnt mean my psu draws more electricity it just doesnt work that hard.

    never buy coolermaster psu

    Thank you both, I thought that a 500 should be sufficient, whichnis what the msi recommends
