That should be more than enough power for everything you have listed.

Edit: I agree totally with Kurifox. 600 would be plenty as well. If you have the money to spend though, you may as well future-proof your rig in case you decide to upgrade down the road.

You dont really need that much, a 600w would be just fine, so you can either save the 30 40$, or keep this one in case you want to sli latter :D

Everything looks pretty good from here. Looks like you should have extra bays to add more storage if needed, and you have room to add another graphics card if you were to do an SLI setup. One quick note though, dont forget to add a DVD drive to your build (if you need one) and you'll need to buy a small tube of thermal paste. Most processors don't come with it.

Do you think this would run battlefield 4 in high resolution? Because that's what I'm aiming for. And I do want to upgrade stuff later on when I know more about parts :)

And yes I'll be getting those DVD drive.

What does the thermal paste do?

Thermal paste glues the heat sync to the processor for better heat conduction.

Okay. I'll look for a good 650w one maybe 700w just in case if I want to fiddle around :)
Thanks guys for the tips. Big help for newbie like me.
