corsair 430 V2 2.2k
FSP Saga II 500w 2.3k
should be fine

Your system will draw about 400W under peak load, if you overclock the processor to 4Ghz at 1.5V vCore.

With that being said, I suggest you Corsair CX430 V2 or even better, Seasonic S1II 520W.

FSP Saga II 500W at the lowend or Seasonic S12-II 430W at the upper end. you can go for better models but these 2 should be fine if you don't have plan to plug in a highend GPU later.

if Op have OCing in mind he better opt for Seasonic S1II 520W to play safe

It's always good to play safe

i agree with u

Trust me, your O/C'ed system will never eat more than 400W.

CX430 is an under-rated unit to maintain efficiency. It can actually deliver well over 500W of current without failing.

I think it's good to stick with rated specs of a PSU - sometime review units are specially made

yes, no two pc component in this world is 100% similar. Otherwise, overclocking processors would be so easy.
