Hello,
I need to know which wattage PSU I will be needing for this build http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/2uRIX there is also this optical drive which I could not find on pc part picker http://www.dragonpc.co.nz/p.aspx?273167
I was thinking to go with a 750w power supply, so if I do some little upgrades eg. changing or adding ram, hard drives and ssd's then I would have a little bit of breathing room. I will also have a ducky zero shine mechanical keyboard, logitech g35 wired headset and razer death adder 2013 edition mouse hooked up to the PC.

Last question: what brand CPU's are good and should I buy bronze, silver or gold and whether the gold ones pay-off in the long run with power consumption because i am not the person who pays the power bill and I do not want to shock the payer if I don't use energy efficient components. I want a mix between good price and good quality.

Thanks!

You already have a cpu in there... PSU wise you should go with seasonic, corsair, ocz, enermax, something along those lines. I dont see a point going with a gold rated power supply unless you want you save every penny you can on your bill, bronze will do just fine for your needs :)

well the cpu. Intel is pretty good, it has been used in many gaming rigs i have seen. Gold will last u for a long time since it is a very durable element it will also benfit u in overclocking, but seems like u wont be doing that, so i think it doesnt matter much on chosing between the chip type that much as it will give u a long lasting pc anyway. Psu, well my cousin has a i5 4670k at 4.4Ghz with,msi gtx 780 ti,8gb ram, seasonic x 650 and a MSI GD 65. It runs perfectly well so i think even 650w would be good but not lower.I would recommended a seasonic, i have come to know that some or most corsair psu's are made by seasonic and u have to pay a premium for the brand if ur going with corsair. so yeah seadknic
