Update on my first gaming PC

Solution
I'd rather get that Seasonic 520W than the CX600 or even 750 CX Corsair. More wattage doesn't mean its better.

5 year warranty on the seasonic vs 3 year on the CX versions.

You could throw in ssd and beef up your psu. The minimum for a 770 is 600w. I like to recommended about 100 to 200 higher to give you some head room if you ever decide to overclock or SLI (although SLI would probably need a little more than 200w more)

No, the 770 use max 250w. The 8350 use around 200w. That leaves around 70w for ur peripherals.
But a 520w seasonic can deliver around 650w of real power. so u should be fine.
But yeah, a 650w+ psu for a high end card is recommanded.
U dont want ur psu to run at 90%. One it will reduce the life span, two the noise will be intolerable,

yeah, since the advertised waltage that a psu can deliver is lower than the actual max when buying from reputable brands to ensure quality.
But it does depend on the model of the unit. So do abit of research if u do go for a price valued psu.
