My build is here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3kuwz, and I was wondering, is the PSU strong enough? It says that it will take 454W to run and I was wondering if that gave me enough wiggle room or should I get something with more power? I can not go over $900 though.

This would be better.
And just so everyone knows, the NZXT Hale was manufactured by Seasonic, and operates with the same level of quality as Seasonic units according to reviews.
It is $10 more though.

Wrong , The NZXT Hale N is made by FSP and not Seasonic quality.

I see... I think I'll message the OP and say the XFX PSU is a better option, then.
