I'm currently trying to build a decent gaming rig. Been buying things here and there with every paycheck I get. However, I'm also antsy to start playing some MMOs with the current setup I have so far. But I really have some doubts about my PSU and how it would hold up with my rig.
Stuff I have so far.
PSU: Antec NEO ECO 520C

CPU: i5-3570k
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
GPU : GTS 450 (Hahaha... yea I know)

Case : 500R Carbide

Motherboard : MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130687
SSD : 128 GB Kingston SSD NOW V300
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721107
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
RAM : Crucial Ballistix Sport (2 x 4gb) (Came free with mobo.. woot!)

Would my PSU be a risk to my system? Or could I possibly have some heating problems even with the Stock fans of the 500R? I'm honestly fairly new to this and worry about it.
I tried the Extreme PSU calculator, and it came out to around 400W... but for some reason I highly doubt that and think I'm probably missing out some important things. I really think 600W would be my safezone and I don't want the money I spent on these guys to go to waste.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
