I'm planning to do a simple build,but i don't know how much power will it need
here's my build:

-Intel core i3 4330 socket LGA1150 (haswell)
-Motherboard: probably Gygabyte GA-H87-HD3 or Asus H87-PLUS,i will decide later
-Ram probably Kingstone 2x4 Gb 1600 MHZ
-HDD Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB
-Samsung SH-224BB/RSMS
-Case Aerocool V3X Evil Blue Edition
I'll be probably going to add a GTX660 later,but i'm undecided between a 500w Corsair Modular CX500M or a 430w Corsair Modular CX430M. if i'm going to add the GTX660,will i need more power? and if anyone has some advise to give me about my build in general,i would really like it

If you're adding a GTX 660 later then go for 500W for a bit of headroom, plus I would go for an i5 if your budget can stretch that far as quad core processor is more futureproof.

Well,i thought about buying the FX-6300,but i wanted to have a Intel because i'm not going to add the GTX 660 immediatly but i think i'll add it some time later and the i3 4330 comes with an integrated GPU
you think it will be better to get the FX-6330 with the GTX 660?
my max budget is limited to 550 dollars,so,that build you send me can be perfect for my budget

The Corsair CX Series have poor capacitors get this one.

Made by the best = SEASONIC.

More than enough power and very high quality.
