Hello, I am building a new gaming pc and I want to find out about my power consumption regarding my build . Below are details regarding my components which I am having . And I just want to find out preferably what kind of PSU do I need.
AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 Socket AM3 4 Core Processor - 3.60GHz, 3.80GHz Turbo,
HIS HD 7870 IceQ Turbo GDDR5 2048MB DVI/HDMI/2xMini DP,
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard (Socket AM3 , Up to 16GB DDR3, USB 3.0, uATX),
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Two Module Kit,
OCZ AGT3-25SAT3-240G Agility 3 240GB SATA III 2.5 inch SSD. thanks for your help
 
You should be fine with a quality 500W PSU like the corsair, seasonic or antec ones

You might want to take a look at the FX6300 or event he FX4300 since they offer more performance for less power and about the same price

Many people saying 7870 very good with overclock, so to give a good amount of power with OC i think you should get 550W or more to be safe. Be sure to buy high quality PSU. Never ever try to buy cheap PSU.
