Cooler master HAF 912 mid tower atx
i5-4670k
Asus Z87-a
EVGA GeForce GTX760 superclocked 2gb
Corsair vengeance blue 8gb (2x4gb) 1600mhz ddr3
WD blue 1tb 7200rpm
LG 14x sata blu ray

I will not be over clocking. I'm just curious how many watts I should go for?

If you're not OCing, why are you getting a k-SKU chip and Z87 board? You'd be better off getting an i5-4440, H87 board, and a 770/280X.

About 500W. Look in the second link in my sig for quality PSUs.

A good 500-550w unit would be fine. Something from Seasonic, XFX, Antec, or Corsair(except the CX).

550 w as is right now and a 650 if you plan on adding another card in the future for crossfire. And I agree with someone, if you are not going to OC, get the non-k version and a cheaper mb. You could spend the difference on a better gpu like a 770.

Most of those calculators overestimate. Total power usage of that system would be ~300w under full load.

Your system shouldnt use more than ~ 350w.
