You've only listed a case? the PSU and CPU cooler depend on the actual components you are intending on putting in the system. Once you have finished you build use a PSU calculator such as http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ to find the right amount of watts required.

The PSU is determined by the sum of the parts contained within that case and the case itself which at the moment totals 0. The GFX card usually will suggest an appropriate PSU for a full regular system. An ATX PSU will fit. The cooling needed is determined by the motherboard and then the CPU and finally the user's needs such as overclocking or a very small budget.

I would say the cooler master calculator actually slightly under estimates based on builds I've recently ran through it but is generally within 10%. Ive found Thermaltake tends slightly over estimates.
