For the following:

CPU: i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI Z87M-G43 mATX
Memory: 2 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600
Hard Drive: WD 1TB 3.5" 7200 RPM HDD
SSD: Corsair Neutron 128GB 2.5" SSD
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 660 ti
Optical Drive: Lite-On DVD/RW
Case: Fractal Design Define Mini MicroATX Mini Tower

and if I planned on overclocking the CPU in the future?
 
The SeaSonic G Series 550-Watt at $80 will give you all the power you need for a single GPU system with an overclock. It's made by one of the best PSU companies out there. It's 80-plus Gold efficiency. It has 2 6+2 PCIe connectors. It is also modular which is great for smaller cases. It has a five-year warranty, so you now the company is backing a quality-built product. There are great reviews out there for this supply:

You don't want to build a great computer on a crappy PSU. The PSU affects every component in your system. I see it as among the most important components.

True enough. Unless a person happens to be a shoprunner member, the 550 would be a better option :)
