Looking for an estimate for the power supply needed for my build.

[wehtam1062]

I'm looking to buy a psu for my new computer that im building. I haven't done this before so I'm pretty new and could use some help. Any suggestions about wattage amount, or a good psu supplier would be great.
Here are the specs for the rest of my build:
Mobo - M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M4A88TD-V-EVO-USB3-Motherboard/dp/B003ICWAVE/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1293835570&sr=1-2

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727

RAM - 4GB kit (of 2 sticks) from Kingston http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM-PC3-1066-KVR1333D3N9-2G/dp/B0019MI1CW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293667940&sr=8-1

Hard Drive - WD Green Caviar 1.5 TB http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Intellipower-Desktop-WD10EARS/dp/B002U1N95K/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1295399814&sr=1-1

Optical Drive - LG super multi drive (no blu-ray) http://www.amazon.com/LG-DVD%C2%B1RW-Super-Multi-Drive/dp/B001B0TTIW/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1293661051&sr=1-3

Also any suggestions about my build would be helpful. Let me know if you would do something different, or if i have anything serious missing (besides the case, I haven't chosen one yet). Also, CHEAPER IS BETTER (but not at the cost of performance) I am not planning on OCing at all at the moment, so nothing to worry about there.

Here is a good calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
I see no GPU selected but am presuming that one will be installed some time. In any case I will recommend this quality Seasonic 520watt PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094

Antec Earthwatts might be a good PSU for you, too.

+1 to the Antec Earthwatts. I have a two year old EA650W and it is chugging along with my pair of GTX 470s (and 460s, previously). It's usually only $70 on newegg, though it was something like $59 the other day.

Thanks for the help everyone. I decided to go a little on the cheap side, but the psu does come with a 2-year warranty, so... hope this works out!!

Which power supply did you go for?

 

[wehtam1062]

well heres the power supply i went with: http://www.amazon.com/Diablotek-500-Watt-Power-Supply-PSDA500/dp/B001P92AA8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1296530439&sr=8-4
I know Diablotek isn't exactly known for making high quality power supplies, but I guess I'll just have to learn my lesson the hard way. I'm not overclocking or anything, so I'm thinking that will increase its longevity.

At least don't add a graphics card to it that requires a PCI-E connector, ie one that isn't power hungry.
