Antec 380W Green, Corsair CX430, or perhaps some 300W Seasonic if its not to much. Your system will use less then 150W, so no need for a 450W+.

Agreed with above suggestions! Here is another solid choice if you are on a very tight budget http://www.amazon.com/Antec-VP-450-Energy-Certified-Supply/dp/B004IZN3K2/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_t_1_SA2A

sorry. I'm so noob to this kind of things,

My CONCEPT of WATTS, as i thought if you have 100 w cpu + 400 w vga and mouse keybord motherboard is you need 600 watts or above? ( Am I wrong?)

and if I'm adding 6670 which needs 400watts in the future should i get 430 watts only with the adds of other parts? :??:

OMG Enlightened me :ange:

You do, but your figures are wrong. The 6670 doesn't need 400W. It lacks a 6pin PCIe plug so it gets all of its power from the motherboard. Which can only supply 75W. As I said, the system you listed would draw up 150W tops. Even adding a 6670 which is around a 60W part will put you just over 200W. The 380/430W PSUs I listed earlier can do that with ease. You should be able to run up to a 7770 or 650TI. Not sure I'd push one of those PSUs higher then that.

Edit: From those choices the HEC or Corsair is probably best.

Corsair VS 450watts (VS450) would be my choice out of those.
