Hey, im a bit paranoid about buying the wrong things so since this is my first build I'm checking everything with experienced people (you guys). I'm gonna order everything from amazon this month so I just wanted to make sure if the power supply I chose will be able to handle all of my components and possible future overclocking. Also if anyone has any suggestions regarding the parts I chose please tell me. Thank you.

Same price, gets you a slightly better GPU, and a better quality power supply that will last you years.

Oh right, I forgot mentioning that. If possible (shipping things to colombia isn't easy) i will buy the 4790k instead of the 4770k.

Also, I like the XFX PSU you sent me so I think ill go for the 750W version. The GPU will be purchased later so I feel like having a bigger PSU will give me more freedom to buy whichever gpu i can afford at the moment (probably the r9 280 you also suggested)

Sadly I have to purchase everything from amazon so that ram is outside my budget, I will implement the other 2 changes but with a 750W XFX PSU

750w isn't necessary, and is overkill for a single GPU setup. Unless you can find it for cheaper than the 650, there's no use paying extra for it.

mind that the xfx 650w can easily run any single gpu config plus overclocking.

Really? if you are sure that it will run a 300$ video card plus oc then it's definitely a better option than the 750W. as I stated in the question I am a bit paranoid with getting things wrong but my budget is tight. Thanks

Your build will run on a 550w power supply just fine lol assuming it's a good quality, that is. People usually vastly overestimate power needs.

WOW, ok I'm convinced now, I'll go with the 650W. Thank you all for your help and the useful links and advice.
