Hey I'm going to be building a PC for the first time.

I am quite set on all my components, except for the PSU. I don't want the price to go too much over $150.

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LE ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB Video Card
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 500R
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

pcpartpicker.com estimates my wattage to be 421W however I may want to SLI my graphics card in the future.

Thank you in advance!

Do you want the ability to SLI later on without upgrading the PSU?

a 600W from a trusted brand should be fine.

Maybe in the future but it is not a necessity

I would rather buy a better card than SLI to tell the truth

Are you sure? 600W? It just doesn't 'feel' like enough power :|

A good 600w PSU would be plenty for that system with a single card. Even a good 550w PSU would work.
