My first build. feedback wanted

[kamikaze0808]

Case: Cooler Master Centurion Micro ATX Mid-Tower Case with Front USB and Audio Ports

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3

CPU: Intel Core i5 650

RAM: Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1600MHz

Video Card: XFX HD577AZNFC Radeon HD 5770 Video Card

Hard drive: Seagate ST3500418AS Barracuda 7200.12 Hard Drive - 3.5", 7200 RPM, SATA 3G, 500GB

Im stuck on the power supply. What would be needed for this setup?

Also is this a decent build for a media/school PC? I don't do much gaming but I multi-task a lot. Is there anything that needs to be improved or spots I could cut back and still get what I need?

I apologize for my first post. I guess it helps to read the "read this first" before posting. I am building in the budget area but with a enthusiasts mindset which doesn't help. I appreciate any and all feedback

Hmmm, he says limited gaming...
You can cut the video card back to a HD4850 or HD5670 and save quite a bit of money.
@OP, what games DO you want to play, and at what settings?
