I'm wondering which PSU I would need for my system.

Specifications:
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V LX2
CPU - i5 3570K overclocked to 4.3Ghz
CPU Cooler - Xigmatek Loki SDS963
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 16Gb (4x4Gb sticks)
HDD - 500Gb S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
SSD - 120Gb Samsung EVO 840
Optical Drive - 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
GPU - Nvidia GTX 770 4Gb
Plus a keyboard, mouse, headset, mic and 6 LED case fans.

Any insight would be much appreciated,
Tom.
 
The system requirements are:

600 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 amps on the +12 volt rail.

PCI Express, PCI Express 2.0 or PCI Express 3.0 compliant motherboard with one graphics slot.

One 8-pin PCI Express power connector or two available 6-pin PCI Express power connectors and one 6-pin PCI Express power connector or two available hard disk power connectors"

So a power supply in the 650 watt range would be fine. I would recommend a Seasonic or XFX PSU.
