I already have the GPU and case. The memory will be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... instead of whats on the list. No peripherals, already have them.
Anything that anyone would recommend rather than what i have picked out?

I'd go for a 600-650w PSU instead. You'd be better off with more headroom to overclock in the future or if you want to upgrade to another newer card.
But you have a decent nice build there :-)

What would be a good PSU that you would choose? I really don't know what to look for in PSUs

Well you won't be gaming with this because a gtx650 will only play at lowest settings and not barely use any power. 450w would be plenty for this build.

Corsair, Antec, XFX, these are top PSU's. Get the corsair 650w, and you're good to go!

Yea i know, I already have the 650 bought from my old computer and i will probably upgrade later. The only reason i want to upgrade is because my current comp is running it's cpu at 100% and the MOBO is really old so im going to buy a whole new system.

If you are going to stick a good GPU in it later, get an XFX550 PSU. It is VERY good quality and can easily power ANY single GPU.
