Hi just curios is Pcpartpicker estimated wattage correct for this build.

It says 404 wattage but i want to add the 128gb ssd,1tb hdd, 2tb hdd, 5 fans, rog gaming panel, a switch for some small leds not many, Mouse/keyboard/headset(dont know if it matters), and overclock to 4.7 stable. Exclude the extra Cpu Cooler and LG Optical drive. Please help me please.

Multiply whatever PCPartpicker shows by 1.2. That's the wattage to purchase. Temporarily add the additional elements (SSD, etc.) to see the recommendation.

I would get a 650 to have more head room.

I just want to game at 1080p and i hear one 970 is plenty. Just really want to know the best wattage for power supply. Its a low wattage build but with extra sdd,hdd, 5 fans, rog gaming panel, light leds, and 4.7 overclock, headset,keyboard, and mouse then idk. Maybe 650w would be perfect?

If this is just for gaming I would of dumped most of the extra crap, got a i5 4690K processor, CM hyper 212, and used the savings for a 980 video card something that would actually help gaming performance.
To answer your question get a 750 watt PSU so you can add another 970 card in the future.
