I am building a new PC and I am lost on how many watts I should get in my PSU.



Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5GHz
ASUS GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5
Toshiba 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5
Toshiba HDTS112XZSWA 120GB SATA 6.0 Gb/s
MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate Socket LGA 1150 ATX
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800)
CD/DVD RW combo optical drive

Right now i have a 750 watt one in mind but I feel like that is way more than enough. Another worry, is the graphics card will have to be updated soon enough, but if I save enough money off of a lower watt PSU, than i might go for a 660ti graphics card. Anyway, let me know what you think!

Thank you!

go with 600 watts and if your overclocking 650 watts to keep a nice headroom. another thing go with i5-4670K insted of 4770K as they perform pretty much the same so its useless to spend 100$ extra for just HT. same thing with memory, go with 8GB to save some cash, and use the spending to buy yourself a GTX 770.

is a nice PSU for the money [ about 75$ incl. shipping]
