I need help finding which kind of power supply I need to get for a computer I'm building.

Here are the parts I am getting:

2 x Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

1 x Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop 3.5" Hard Drive

620W should run it.

This site is a great tool for calculating power requirements.

For that build I would say a good 550W power supply from a brand like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, or XFX would be sufficient if you aren't planning on upgrading or adding a second GPU later.

Agreed with above.
As long as you have no plans to overclock or add extra components in the future a good quality 550W or higher would be enough.
