Hi!
I'm building my pc and I would like to be able to choose a good power supply for it. Here are my components:

AMD FX 6300.
Crosshair V Formula Z.
ATI HD6670 (For now, I would like to buy a better card somewhere over the next year, something mid range).
1 Sata drive Western Digital. 1TB, 7200rpm.
1 optical drive (DVD/CD W).
2 sticks of RAM, 4GB.
4 coolers on case+stock cooler of processor.
Basically, I would like to know which specifications should my PSU have. If the money allows it, I would like to buy something that gives me a little room for improvement (like changing the video card), but anything that can safelly drive what I have would be good.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for the answers! So, basically, I'm looking for a 500W 80PLUS or above. Seasonic is not an easily obtainable brand where I live, the only one I can find on sale right now at a reasonable price is this one:

There's a brand here in Argentina named Sentey, I don't know if their PSU's are sold in other countries, but most people here recommend them. This are some of the models I've found that have more or less the same specifications as the ones you pinted out:

Do you know if it would be a good call to go with one of those Sentey?
