My brother is building a new PC and he will have:
1.AMD FX-8350 4.0GHZ 8-CORE (or AMD FX-9590 4.7GHZ 8-CORE)
2.2gb ddr3 ram X4
3. Palit GeForce GTX660 2GB X2 (or amd r9 290)
4.1TB HDD
5.Sandisk 128GB g25 SSD
6.Cooler Master seidon 120v
7. 5x 120mm Fans
8.ASUS M5A78LLE
Do you think a Corsair CX750 80PLUS BRONZE will be enough for this system? Could you also help me with psu selection fro the change that are in the parentheses please? Thanks in advance

Your system needs a minimum of 450watts an 24 Amps on the 12 V rail. Yes the CX750 will be more than adequate.

If the PSU has not already been purchased, consider this one currently on sale: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL052314&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL052314-_-EMC-052314-Index-_-PowerSupplies-_-17151095-L012D

This Seasonic is superior in performance and quality than the CX750.

Your system should not even break 300W... almost no system will break 300W unless stuffed with (very) high-end components or overclocked.

Edit: never mind, get the one above. They hadn't put the code on the product page so I thought it was for email subscribers only.

might as well spend $10 more and get EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2

Just make sure to print out the invoice after logging into the newegg website to qualify for the rebate.
