You would be fine with a 500W PSU. It would be a waste to get anything more than 600W. Here are some suggestions:

I also thought 500 watt would be enough but thanks for the list I'll look at them.
Also, alot of people say Seasonic is a good brand for power supply's, what do you think about it?

The difference between modular and non modular PSUs are that you can pick and choose and use exactly what cables you need for the modular PSUs. You are stuck with whatever the PSU has in non modular PSUs. Also, you can make or buy custom cables for a modular PSU as well. :)

Oh, thanks. I still think they are a little expensive, I'm looking for one between 50 and 60 euro's (56,50 - 67.80 Dollars)

So I found these PSUs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094&cm_re=Sea_Sonic_S12II-520_Bronze-_-17-151-094-_-Product

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83U90965&cm_re=EVGA_500W_80%2b_Bronze-_-17-438-012-_-Product

The last one isn't SeaSonic or modular but alot of people use it and it's not expensive..
What do you think about it?

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna need a modular PSU yet, maybe later if I really want the best airflow and it to look better but for now it's just too expensive.

So I think I'll choose one of the two I showed you :)
