This are my components:

CPU: Intel i7 4770K
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 760
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 612
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB (x2)
MB: Asus B85M-E (s1150)
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8) DDR3 1600Mhz
Case: Sentey Arvina
Mouse: Sentey Nebulus
Keyboard: Sentey Phoenix

My questions are:

How much power do I need in a PSU with those components (750w-800w...?)? and, What PSU do you recommend?

Nah, recommended for that particular card is a 500W, so 550 - 650 would put ya in that sweet spot. Antec, XFX, Seasonic, PCP & C, Evga, etc.

Hi - joss is right, you need only a good quality 550w unit for that rig. A more powerful unit will do
no harm ecxept to your wallet upfront in higher initial cost.

Keep in mind you need to select one that is Haswell ready. Right now they are running a little
high price-wise. But, I expect over the next 2 weekends there will be specials.

Would be easier recommending a PSU for you if I knew your budget $.

Check your links - your budget option is over $100, hardly what I would call budget for a 650w unit.

Likewise your mid range is also over $100.


No need for OP to spend that kind of $$ for PSU to run a sys with a 760 if he waits for
the specials.

the budget and mid-range are over $100? , no they're not, I appreciate you tying to correct my mistake but the budget is on promo right now and the mid-range has its original price...for the budget, this one is not on promo with its original price, its just not modular or semi-modular http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb...
Haswell has been out for quite a while now with rumors of broadwell coming out in Q1 2015, btw how do you know when the specials will be?

I know that, but most OP's asking for advice are going to click on the original link you provided, which showed
the XFX 650 $ 109, not $70, I see you have corrected the links which is good.

I don't have a specific budget. I could buy any but just wanted to make sure what's best for my build
