Suggestions on a smaller psu

[Rob_the_scot]

So I'm currently using 650watt gold rated Dark power psu I thinks its hugely overkill for my system and a bit big in the case at a 180mm long.

Modular would be preferred and single 6 pin connection like my dark power would be pretty sweet for the gpu but not essential...less cables less mess
My systems specs are
i5 3450
1xssd
zotac gtx 660 (none ti and not the amp)

No optical or hdd in this build

And hers a build of my system

Silverstone Strider 500w would be fine, and is 30mm shorter, and fully modular.

Some of Corsairs psu are around 140-160mm. Find one and you're good to go!

I have been looking at the corsiar and the silverstone strider, dam hard choice both look good

Do you think its possible to get away with the 430 watt psu by corsiar since according to the psu calculator my whole system draws 317watts at 100% load?

Corsair's CX430W will be fine i have ran a corsair 430W on an i5 3570k with a superclocked GTX560!
