PSU and GPU selection

[eafechal]

Hello! I am upgrading the most parts of my computer and I will probably buy:

i5 3570k
Asus P8Z77-V LX2
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
CoolerMaster Centurion 6 Black RC-610-KKN

The pc is being used for gaming mostly.

What PSU should i get? Are 650W enough?
Keep in mind that I might buy a Sapphire 7950 later this year. Would you recommend this card?

Thanks in advance.

Why not get a haswell cpu? (Fourth generation intel processor)

Liquid cpu cooling is recommended.

If your getting one Sapphire 7950 get a 500 to 550 watt psu, if your planning on doing 2 way crossfire later on get a 700 watt psu and if your gonna do a 3 way crossfire get a 850-900 watt psu. Its hard to determine, try putting the list on pcpartpicker.com

I personally prefer Nvidia's graphics cards.

At first I was thinking of getting a haswell cpu but 1155 are tested and are excellent, as far as I know, while 1150 still being tested. So I think I will stick with ivy bridge.

Will I have problems with air cooling during oc?

I will have only one gpu. Is XFX Core Edition PRO550W a good choice?

Im not an expert on OC so try posting about that on the OC category. I compiled a list on pcpartpicker.com that shows all the prices, but I couldn't find the case you are planning on buying. Also I picked out a better power supply. Im assuming that you already have a storage drive, operating system install disc and graphics card right?

Yes I already have these. I did not compile a list, because I will buy them from local stores (Greece), in order to avoid the extra shipping costs.

Thanks for your help and time!
