Here you go. I recommend running the 2 HDDs on RAID 1, although they'll run slower, RAID 1 has fault tolerance, meaning it is safer.

A good 550w power supply would be perfect if you plan on upgrading the graphics card in the future. If you plan to stick with the 260x, a good 450w PSU would be perfect :)

For a system using a single Radeon R7 260X graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 26 Amps or greater and have at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

At full load, an overclocked i7 extreme system with a 260x in a synthetic benchmark pulls a MAX of 225w. Power supplies generally hit peak efficiency around 50-70% load, so a power supply running around 450-550w would be perfect, giving plenty of room for overclocking and longevity.

B3ShO, do you have any power supplies of 450w or greater available from Antec, SeaSonic, or XFX?
