I would go with a 650 watt 80 + just to be on the safe side, other then that every thing else seems fine to me.

Dont understand why people try to use Corsair CX series PSUs on anything above a browser/email/office pc. The build as a whole is fine and will perform great for what you want it to do. That being said. Get rid of that PSU its trash for high quality components like these. Your PSU is the heart of the build and should never cheap out on it. Easiest simile is like Having the body of a 21 yr old who is extremely fit and athletic with the heart of a 50 yr old.... Cant do anything too stressful even with an amazing body.

The Corsair CX series really show weakness when OC'ing but still die out on people who run stock clocks so I wouldnt even bother risking it.

Most XFX, Antec, Seasonic PSUs are high quality get one of those. If needed give me a budget specifically for the PSU and ill recommend some PSUs near the budget

For your work a i5 4670 or even 4440 is more than enough. Why buy that i7?

I will drop that Corsair CX and buy a Seasonic S12II 620 watt.

Where from are you buying these ?

So am I :)  If you happen to be in Kolkata, I suggest you buy it from stores. Cheaper prices than online.
