I thought about XFX PRO 650W but it would be 20 € more. In the build above I've excluded the price of the case (nearly 40/50€) so it will be above my budget with the case.

it costs the same of a Corsair cx-600. Still, would it be enough with like 4 fans ON (212 EVO and 3 fans from the case, it's a Zalman Z3 Plus), and if I wanted to do some light overclocking?
 
go for XFX 550W, this forum's favorite budget psu
its made by seasonic and has top tier quality component

this template OC build has been used widespread in this forum :)
and it use that psu
