Looking at the system, the 620W should do just fine, however it does limit your expandability. I would recommend going to at least a 750W PSU to allow for future Crossfire setups or a more demanding CPU.

You could go for the CX750 by Corsair:

Or maybe this Roswill one which is also Gold certified, as opposed to bronze.

the psu tier list comprises many popular makes and models of power supply rated from tier one (best) to tier 5 (doorstops)
from the link in my sig:


Tier Four
No Japanese capacitors found. Only Taiwanese capacitors and may even include Chinese capacitors. Very basic safety circuits or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.
