I have decided to build a new build that will last me a good long while. I have a few components left over and I know I can use them but the psu wattage I don't know. The build is

CPU: i7 4790k

Motherboard: MSI B85M GAMING

GPU: gtx 780

Ram: 16gb

HDD: 1TB

The wattage adds up to 438 watts. I'm relatively new to this but I'm just wondering if that's somehow minimum load when idling. So when I play planetside or heavily demanding game the psu won't choke my system. thanks for helping the noob XD
 
Solution
625W is enough to run that system. You would only need a higher wattage psu if you add another gtx 780 for sli. That 438W is under load.
