Well, this is what I'd go for if you're not going to overclock anything http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb... but if you change your mind and decide to overclock then you'll want something more like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb.... I'd suggest a quality 600W unit but the price of that 650W is actually lower than a similar quality 600W!

You did say in your original post you were going to overclock so that's why I suggested a more robust PSU. If you don't overclock then the 550W XFX will be fine.

At least 650W to be comfortable but quality is just as important. Check out the tiered list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2263985/power-su...

Seasonic and XFX are always safe choices and the EVGA Supernova B2 750W probably gives you the best bang for your buck with top quality and watts to spare
