I'm building a budget gaming pc after getting an i5 2500k processor & gtx 295 video card relatively cheap. I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to pc's and hardware but I tried my best and came up with these parts:

I'm really stuck on what power supply to get and am also not 100% sure if everything is compatible(theoretically atleast). Any suggestions on the power supply(I'd like to keep it under 90$) and other thoughts? thanks!
*I'd also like to note that I wont be overclocking the cpu and gpu.
