Hi - realhardtech suggests a quality 500w(that will also have at least 30 +12v amps)
unit for a sys with a 670.

What is your budget? Need to know that 1st. Easy to recommend a budget PSU
for that build, but you might be want to step up from budget/opening price point
series. Depends on what you want to spend.

Hi - Put your current selections in partpicker to see
where you are at relative to your budget.

If you are going to be gaming, you can save some $$ & get 8g
of ram instead of 16g.

Hi - why a micro atx motherboard? with that case

Swap the motherboard for an Asrock z77 Extreme4 and use the money saved to buy a GTX 680 instead of a 670.

I would also like to mention that im probably going to overclock my 3570k to 4.5 Ghz

NP - 500w should still do it, I'd look for a quality 500-550w unit, as
you will now most like want to add an aftermarket cooler.
