Hallo community,

what I've planned so far is the following build (mainly for gaming):

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K
CPU-Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Mainboard: ASUS Z87-Pro (C2)
RAM: G.Skill Ares DIMM Kit 8GB, DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24
GPU: PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 PCS+, 3GB GDDR5, DVI, HDMI, 2x Mini DisplayPort
Case: Enermax Ostrog Giant
SSD: Samsung SSD 840 Evo Series 120GB, 2.5"
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB

PSU: be quiet! Straight Power E9-CM 580W ATX 2.31 (80 Plus Gold)
As there are still a lot of connectors left on this PSU, I'm asking myself, if 580W is enough, if I put in more components than the ones listed above and of course with the 4670K/Z87-combination some OC will have to be done as well.

Thx for your answers!

I know that's it's good for the setup I have so far, but I wonder how much space is left for additional components and OC with the 580W; I mean, why elso would the PSU's go up to 1000W and more?

(I don't want to use more than one GPU!, not a hardcore gamer)
