Im building a new PC, and I want to be sure all these parts are compatible. This is my first time building a PC, and I don't want to screw myself over 500 dollars.

I have not put a PSU in here because I'm not sure the wattage needs of all these devices, if anyone could help me out on that, because I don't see it in the specs tab on newegg. I have checked everything, but I want a second opinion on at all, as this is my first machine. I would like an upgrade on my graphics card in 1-2 years, so I would like some room for a larger graphics card on the power side, but try to keep it cheap.

your mem/chipset tdp is no more than 84w
your cpu is 95w
a AM 5570 will draw around 40w max load
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Powercolor/HD_5570/27.html

this is 219w/18.25a on 12v rail
you should look for a psu that has at least 22-24a because you should never want to push your psu past 75-80% use

if your not planning on adding anymore upgrades you could go with something like this

however i would go with a good 550w for slightly more to accomodate a better gpu when you get the money

both of these will accommodate your needs
