Damn, sorry, i forgot to mention that i have even a cooler processor: Cooler Thermaltake NIC C4, but if you say its plenty even afre oc'ing, then its no problem with the cooler too, its enough power, thank you so much for your help guys :) 

That why I keep say you not plan to overclock CPU :heink:  Sorry also to make you confused too.
Edit : Maybe this can help you to calculate the estimated wattage on your own with additional of HD & case fans.

Thanks man, the estimated wattage is close to what MeteorsRaining sayd, 436, thanks for the help guys :) 

EDIT: Damn the components from the site you gave me are so cheap :D  for esample the I7 procesor there is 330$ and in my country that costs 429$... or the video card.. on the site the price is 440$ and in my country that costs 685$... there's a big goddamn difference..

Yes, CPU cooler doesn't tax the PSU, you're all good. Glad to help :)

Yes it's plenty even after OCing.

@Libero, of course i plan to OC the cpu lol :D  you cannot get an i7 4790k without OC'ing it :D , so MeteorsRaining, are you sure it will work even with OC on the cpu and gpu? with all the components of the system? if not tell me cause i will choose another psu a bit more powerfull huh

Yes the PSU you chose is good, even with substancial OCing on both CPU and 780 Ti. The total system load, including CPU, MoBo, HDDs, etc is close to 400W after OCing, and this PSU can handle it with ease.

^ Yes it just good enough wattage for the GTX 780 Ti since you are not plan to overclock the CPU too.

Would this power supply be good? : Seasonic M12II-620 EVO Edition Bronze, 620W, PFC Activ ??

Take in consideration that after about two years i will change my video card to somethink like Geforce GTX 780 TI 3gb windforce x3 and i rad on the inthernet that this card consumes about 400w? or 250 w, i think 250w cause 400 is too much, but i want the psu to work even when i change the video card.. will this one i choosed work? is this one a good psu?

You need to change it, it's low quality. Seasonic/ EVGA/ Xfx/ antec are all high quality units. Go for Seasonic 520w or Xfx 550w.
