As you have a nice setup for overclocking you want a bit of headroom to ensure stable performance. Although smaller would work I'd go fo a tier 1 600w

a Mid range 600w will do fine (tier 2 or 3).

It looks like an overclocking build, a tier 1 will give less ripple and should help better OC. Seems pointless buying nice parts like that and then skimping on the most important component

Depends if you get value out of it I guess. I think this forum overplays the need for a high end PSU all the time.

Im not saying get a junk psu that will blow up, but mid range units are usually more than enough unless you are going for a high draw system with multiple high end GPUs. Up to you how you spend your money, but its not a necessity.

If not overclocking then you can save money on a cheaper motherboard and non k cpu. Also 550w tier 1 or 2 is what I would go for
