Wanted to ask how much power would my system needs.
Specs:i5 6600k
MSI Z170a gaming pro
Corsair vengeance ddr4 ram 16gb(2x8gb)
R9 290x
Maelstrom 120k cooling kit
1 normal 120mm fan
2 hard drives
1 Samsung Evo 850ssd
I usually plug in my gaming mice and gaming keyboard, my Webcam, speakers and a BenQ xl series monitor.
I used to use 750w cooler Master psu, was that enough? If not how much more power do I need and any brand/model psu recommendations?

750w is more than enough. If nothing wrong with your PSU, then there's no need to change. If you are in the mood to waste money, then upgrade to whatever that cost a shit load of cash. Make sure it's at least Gold rated tho. Okay, generally, Seasonic's range are very safe. biggrin.gif

if yr budget is tight, get at least 600W from superflower tier 1 but i highly recommend 750W is more safer bet.

TS go for Tier 1 PSU u won't get wrong.
