Need help choosing power supply

[The LOP]

Hello! I am building my first PC, intended for gaming, and I am nearly complete. The only thing that I am still uncertain of is my power supply. I was thinking of going with a 750 watt corsair, but I do not know if I am over shooting the amount of wattage that I need. I will post the full build down here, and any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Mainly I would just like to know if this is a decent power supply, or if I should get something else.

Thanks in advance!

i think 600-650watt would be enough for your system,but if you are planning to upgrade to a more power hungry graphics card in the near future,you could opt for a 750watt,this link is for a modular corsair quality psu in australia,you may need to search this product in your country..good luck

Alright, so would 650 be enough even if I am planning on overshooting a little bit? About 75 watts or so over? Thanks for the reply!

yes i beleive that is correct,i have a similar system running a core I5 2500k, gtx 560ti with a 650watt antec true power supply,how much do you want to spend on a psu for your system?

 

[The LOP]

However much is needed for a good one that will last me. Probably around 250 max?

Antec, seasonic, corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Silverstone, XFX any of these will make a goo PSU. Give us a link to your preferred online supplier.

The site that I will most likely use is newegg.

Antec, Silversone, Corsair or Seasonic - even the Rosewill gets pretty good reviews.
