Hello guys, I am new at building a PC, so I'm looking for your help.
I'm going to use this machine mainly for gaming at 1080p, and some basic stuff...

There's no need to questioning my component choice, I am wondering how much wattage that I need for this build? According to PCPartPicker it's 188w, is it really that simple?
I am not going to Overclock.

I am going purchase a Corsair RM but I am wondering about which wattage I should choose...

Here's the build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mY6pzy

I am not denying the fact that I am going to upgrade this PC in the future, something like non-K i7 processor, a better GPU, more storage, and RAM.
 
Solution
A good 400 with 20 AMPs on the 12 VOLT rail will be more than enough, as is if thinking upgrading the GPU, what GPU will be the determining factor, a good 600 will take you up to a very high end single GPU setup

Does using 600 will cover my upgrade up in the future? you know, something like 4771, gtx 780ti, and 16gb of ram?
