Cooler: be quiet! Shadow Rock PRO SR1
GPU: Gigabyte D5 X Geforce GTX650 Ti OC R
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile (CML16GX3M4A1600C9B)
HDD: Samsung 1TB SAT2 HD103UJ (re-used)
SSD: Corsair Force 3 120GB (CSSD-F120GB3-BK) (re-used)
DVD: LG GDR-H30N 16x AT (re-used)
Case Fans: 2x Cooler Master 80mm Fan SAF-S84-E1 (re-used)

I'm having constant Bluescreens since I upgraded my components.
Have exhausted all possibilities, up from Windows Reinstall, Updates deinstalled, new dribers, old drivers, new RAM.
Disconnected everything but the SSD (including all USB devices).
Have run several benchmark tests, including (Prime95, Memtest86, Fumark) for up to 24 hours each - all without errors.
Have also made sure to buy a RAM that is on the compatability list of my mainboard, aswell as the mainboard on the RAM list.
The only other thing I can test now is the PSU (thank god for amazon 30 day return service..). I dare not to think its the CPU or Mainboard...
But, this thread is not about bluescreen solving, but PSU.

What kind of PSU in terms of Power do I need for my Setup? I don't want to overclock, but I wanna use the I5 Turbo Boost setting.
I'm having my eyes on a Corsair TX SERIES 650WATT PSU 80+BRONZE, based on the threads here in the forums
650 Watts should be plenty, shouldn't it?
The reason I ask is, my old one has 600 Watts and it was fine in my old PC just 10 days ago. Does the new system need that much more power?
or is the PSU just old and therefore not really compatible anymore with the new hardware stuff and power layout and whatnot?
I'm not an experienced PC Expert - I have built my fare share of PCs, but nowadays things are just more complicated I guess.
Last time I built a PC was beginning of 2008
Thanks guys!
EDIT:
I don't care about whether Its modular or not. I have a gigantic Coolermaster Cosmos case and no trouble fitting everything in.
