im guessing with that i7 you are going to overclock correct? for a power supply you could probably go wiht a minumum or 650 watts just to be safe and get a 60+ gold efficiency one

I suggest you get at least 1000W. In my opinion, either spend 100 on a h100i for the CPU or about 500 on cooling the whole rig with liquid.
