Hi guys.

I'm asking this question, since this is the last part of my PC, and I'm about to order the parts right now, so I just need to know what PSU I should get.

The PSU itself will be Seasonic, but I do not know how much Watts I'm going to need.

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

Appreciate any input. Regards.

I know you said you are set on getting a Seasonic, but EVGA recently released their Supernova G2 PSUs that have better voltage regulation and ripple suppression than comparable Seasonic units, and they have a hybrid fan with a fully modular design. 750W would be a good choice for that build. :)  http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g2075...

Here is a review for this unit. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=... 9.8 out of 10.

Thanks for answering. To be honest, I've never tried EVGA PSUs :( .

Edit: Just noticed that you have edited your post, and posted the review, so I edited mine as well. Thank you!

I'd get a good 650w unit for a system like that. 850w if you want to SLI.

I'm not planning on running SLI, at least not for now with the beast 780 Ti.

I think I'm gonna go with a 750W PSU, just to be on the safe side.

Thank you guys for your input. Really appreciate it!

Now off to order the parts :D

While 650W would be enough, I suggested the EVGA unit because it's as cheap as a 650W but is a lot better than any 650W PSU. I agree though, if you think you might want to SLI in the future you should go with the 850W version of the G2. :)
