Hello,

I am building a new gaming computer and i am struggling to find a suitable power supply for it.
The planned components are:

Coolmaster HAF-X Full Tower

Asus P8Z77-V PRO S1155 Intel Z77 DDR3 ATX
http://www.dabs.ie/products/asus-p8z77-v-pro-s1155-inte...

Corsair Vengence 16 gb RAM

Western Digital 1.5TB Caviar Black 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB
http://www.dabs.ie/products/western-digital-1-5tb-cavia...

Asus GeForce GTX 570 742MHz 1280MB PCI-Express HDMI (DirectCU II)

G Electronics 10x Internal BDRW SATA Retail Kit

Intel Core i7-3770 S1155 3.4GHz 8MB
http://www.dabs.ie/products/intel-core-i7-3770-s1155-3-...

I would greatly appreciate a recommendation of a power supply that would be suitable for the computer. If someone could tell me the wattage, that would also be great.

Thank you.

The one he linked to is Corsair, which is a good brand. So are Antec and Seasonic among others.

Don't skimp on PSU, but past a point you should favor quality over quantity. You could power everything you have with a good 500w unless you add a second graphics card: so get a good 500w instead of a bad 750w. The Corsair is excellent if it meets your budget.

A system with a single GTX570 requires a 550W PSU with at least 40A on the 12V rails and two 75W 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The XFX Core 550W with 44A on the 12V rail is electrically sufficient for your PC, has the proper power connectors, and has sufficient reserve capacity for moderate OCing. Real-world power consumption is not likely to exceed the 369W used by this system with a highly OCd, power-hungry i7 965: http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-570-review/8
