Beginner in need of help/advice please.

Hello, I've been looking at the Devcon All-in-One PC. The specifications are in the picture attached. Primarily going to be used for 2D and 3D CAD and some mild gaming (Total War Series).

I have been advised by a friend that I'll need a 600+ watt power supply but PC Specialist have recommended that I only need the 450 watt power supply.

Can anyone advise me on this and on this build in general?

It would be easier to see if you copy/paste the full spec, once you click proceed you get the option to "post to forum". The configurator is accurate regarding power requirements and even add a 20% allowance. If no warning shows up then there is no need for a different psu

Oh ok cheers! It's an extra £10 for the 550 watt power supply, is that worth it?

Yeah, I'd go for the 650w CS series, more headroom for upgrades and modular - less cables in that small case.

Cheers for the advice dude.
