This is my first build and I'm not sure what PS I will need. I'm sure I'm gonna need to get more fans and what not also.

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD

Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 140mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, option Fans-2x Side 120mm Fan
 
I recommend a 500w to 600w PSU for that build. That would leave room for upgrades later on. If possible, buy either an Antec, a Corsair, or a Seasonic PUS. They are regarded as generally being the best PSU brands. Also, look for 80+ Bronze PSUs more than 80+ or non 80 + PSUs. The Bronzes are more energy efficient (Silver, Gold and Platinum are even more efficient, but they are usually more expensive).

While I don't have tons of money. I'm trying to get stuff at a good price, and slowly gonna be buying over time. Like a couple of months.
Really just trying to build something that is gonna last be a good couple of years before having to upgrade it again.
So far it does look to be around 1k.
