First time building a PC, and i'm nearly finished, i just need a Case, and a PSU.

So, what i did is... i used many PSU watt calculators from different sites, and i always get different output.
Like, huge differences.

See for yourselves :

ASUS: 600
Cooler Master : 450
MSI : 400
*drum roll*
New Egg : 900.....

Seriously, which one should i believe?
Using common sense, i'd go for a 500-600 PSU, what do you think?

Here is the build:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3KmhJ

CPU : AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz Eight Core 16MB Processor AM3+

GPU : SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC WITH BOOST

Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

RAMx2 : Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 1.65v

Mobo : ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+

HDD : 1TB WD caviar blue

I'll probably overclock the FX-8320, and the R9 if i don't get suitable FPS with it.

I'll be using the PC for gaming mostly.
for long sessions maybe.

And about the case, i'm thinking of the ThermalTake V3 BlacX Edition, Do you think that it will be good for this build? if not, any suggestions would be appreciated, just try to make sure its price is close to the V3's.

Thanks in advance.
